Neuropixels Headstage
The SpikeGadgets Neuropixels headstage is designed to optimize the power and density of Imec’s Neuropixels probes with the smart design and flexibility of SpikeGadgets’ products.
- Records neural signals from up to three Neuropixels 1.0 probes with 2880 selectable neural channels
- Can operate in tethered mode or untethered datalogging mode with battery power source
- Tethered live stream up to 1152 selected channels or datalog up to 400 channels
- Light enough for rats and larger animals; just 19g for headstage + cone
- Optimized for high throughput and social experiments
- Unique alignment system to make daily connecting/disconnecting simple
- Integrated motion sensor and radio receivers
- Low noise
