A New Era in Neural Recording

A New Era in Neural Recording on Simons Foundation

By Emily Singer July 19, 2021 During the pandemic, graduate student Anna Lebedeva had the eerie experience of working in the lab entirely alone. The University College London campus was shut down, but Lebedeva received special permission to continue a unique set of experiments. Prior to the pandemic, she had implanted mice with Neuropixels 2.0 probes, the latest iteration of a high-density silicon electrode capable of recording from hundreds of neurons simultaneously. Her lab was one of only a handful around the world that were testing the new probes, so every animal housed a potential treasur
