Silicon Probes

Silicon probes are advanced devices used by scientists to study the brain's activity. Made from silicon, these tiny, flexible shields contain multiple tiny electrodes that can record electrical signals generated by neurons. When inserted into brain tissue, they allow researchers to monitor neural activity with high precision across different brain regions simultaneously. Silicon probes are essential tools in neuroscience research for understanding brain functions, probing neural circuits, and developing treatments for neurological conditions. Their design combines durability, miniaturization, and high-channel capacity, enabling detailed exploration of complex neural processes.
