Every two years, some of the brightest minds in auditory neuroscience gather at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole for an immersive, three-week course titled Biology of the Inner Ear (BIE). Since its inception in 2007, the course has offered graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds—ranging from audiology to molecular […]
NeuroNexus is committed to continuous improvement to uphold the highest quality standards and ensure our customers remain at the forefront of scientific advancement. In 2017, driven by innovation, we introduced amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) into specific probe designs that demanded longer implant times, leveraging its superior dielectric properties. For this reason, a-SiC is well-suited for […]
Our history of microelectrode technology starts in the 1950s. It wasn’t until 1953 that the first glass pipet microelectrode was used for extracellular recording (Rose, Science 1953). The glass pipette had a platinum wire inside, and it had a 10-micron tip. From there, there was a big development where Hubel developed the first microwire-based electrode […]
The day the lab acquired simultaneous single-unit recordings for the first time, it felt like a jump to hyper speed. That graduation from a single tungsten electrode to multi-channel arrays meant a whole new kind of data was available about the region of interest.
