Modular Stacking Headstage (128 to 1024 channels)

The Modular Stacking Headstage (MSH) datalogger system for rats and larger animals can be customized to stream up to 1024 channels of neural data in freely-moving animals in tethered mode or configured to record up to 512 channels in untethered (wireless) data logging mode. The MSH datalogger features a modular design, where channel count is determined by how many 128-channel stacking probe module boards are in use (up to 8). This makes the MSH ideal for freely-moving multiprobe experiments in rats or larger species.

  • Up to 1024 channel capacity tethered or 512 channels for untethered recordings
  • Integrated accelerometer, gyroscope and radio receiver
  • Easily adjust channel count to meet experimental needs by adding or removing probe boards.
