At less than 1 gram, the CerePlex μ (mu) is a small, lightweight and high-resolution digital headstage for rodent neural recording and stimulation with video tracking and motion sensing capabilities.
The small form factor of the CerePlex μ (mu) provides a lightweight platform for simple stimulation and tracking in freely moving rodents.
The CerePlex μ (mu), with Blackrock’s customized Honey Badger ASIC Chip, provides 7x higher resolution to record high-fidelity transmission of extracellular spikes and local field potentials.
*Compared to competitors’ 12 Effective Number of Bits 2.44 μV vs. Blackrock’s 15.5 Effective Number of Bits 0.353 μV.
With a flip of a switch, the CerePlex μ (mu) allows researchers to test impedance of the electrode while in the brain to monitor electrode tip condition. This helps researchers troubleshoot the quality and integrity of the electrode.
The CerePlex μ (mu) has two infrared LEDs used for video tracking when using Blackrock’s Neuromotive video tracking software. The LEDs can be turned on or off via the CerePlex μ (mu) Headstage Adaptor.
The CerePlex μ (mu) features an onboard accelerometer and gyrometer for sensing motion along 6-axises, which enables researchers to match neural recording to movement and behaviors with high temporal precision including.
