The Ratlas Project
Electrophysiological signals - be it from single cell or from high channel count Silicon probe recordings - have an electrical amplitude in the µV range. For further technical use, they need at least to be amplified in a wide frequency band to make them accessible for automated analysis.
Recording systems at our disposal are from Plexon, TDT, alpha-omega, OpenEphys, Multichannel Systems and custom ones.
Our intend is to use signals acquired during high-res implantation procedures to provide navigational landmarks and improve localization in the rat brain. Early machine learning results point to a promising path towards a functional brain atlas in rats.
