This week, we announced on Twitter a preorder round for our first production run of the R2Drive. This microdrive was designed by the Buzsáki lab at NYU, with a focus on sustainability: One can reuse the drive and the silicon probes ♻️, with the main limitation being electrode impedance. WeContinue Reading
Recently, while preparing our next open hardware project, we researched how to best share the design files. Originally we decided to self-host, with the idea of later migrating to GitHub. Instead, we opted for Zenodo, the file sharing platform maintained by CERN and funded by the EU. Zenodo stands outContinue Reading
We are very excited to announce our new collaboration with the Buzsáki lab at NYU. Their new microdrive for silicon probes is: recoverable reusable open-source extends your probe’s life span to 3+ implants (impedance becomes the main issue) and also works with Neuropixels! The metal microdrive and head cap wereContinue Reading
On Nov 17 2020, the journal Nature published a feature about how “How DIY technologies are democratizing science” by Sandeep Ravindran. Key takeaways: “The idea that scientists build their own equipment is as old as science,” (Tom Baden) a reminder that the trend itself is not new, scientists have beenContinue Reading
