Linear 8-Shank 64-Channel Probe, 5 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
Eight mid-length shanks side by side, with sites spread evenly down each, one per row, for a profile across depth. Among the 371 probe designs in the design space it is mid-range: 64 sites (a common choice — 68 of 369), 5 mm shanks (a common choice — 107 of 363), a 1.42 mm-deep site array (62nd percentile), 32 sites/mm² (11th percentile) and a 1.85 mm³ neural interface (88th percentile).
Large sites read a wider patch at lower impedance, suited to field potentials and multi-unit activity, spaced widely to span a structure rather than resolve within it. The mid-length shanks reach structures a few millimetres down.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 8 package configurations, 1 of them microdrive-compatible. Silicon 15 µm thick. Z-coat available. Optical stimulation runs from a separate laser or LED source. Research use only.
