N-Form® Multi Electrode Array
The next generation of multichannel, high-density neural recording
Over the past two decades, researchers using arrays like the Utah array have faced limitations in recording large populations of neurons, including an inability to reach deep brain structures and low-dimensional recordings. Neurons aren’t exclusively arranged laterally on a 2D space, so why should that be all an electrode array can cover?
We teamed up with Modular Bionics to address these limitations with the N-Form array. The N-Form is a customizable 3D array exclusively offered by Plexon. It is compatible with Plexon and non-Plexon systems, and is priced similar to standard linear arrays.
With the N-Form, neuroscientists have the power to choose from a number of recording sites in a three-dimensional space.
