A paper about our next generation data acquisition system, ONIX, was just published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
ONIX: a unified open-source platform for multimodal neural recording and perturbation during naturalistic behavior - Nature Methods
ONIX is a data acquisition system for recording freely behaving mice. It can accommodate a variety of recording technologies, while maintaining minimal impact on animal behavior.

It was a pleasure to see everyone recently in the European Social Club and European Brain and Behavior Society Meetings. This one was particularly special for Ophelia 🐭

Thanks to the organizers and those who stopped by to discuss our tools 😃

Have a nice and well-deserved vacation! 😎

15 years ago, we created the first prototypes of two tools that make multichannel ephys more affordable and scalable. Today, there are 2k+ Open Ephys Acquisition Boards in the field and 500+ pubs using the Open Ephys GUI. Both tools have now been rebuilt for the future of neuroscience.

#OpenEphys
Acquisition Board — Open Ephys
The 3rd generation of our Acquisition Board captures up to 512 ch of neural data and absolute head orientation from our 3D capable headstages to drive a torque-free commutator for tangle-free naturalistic recordings.

Are you using Neuropixels probes with our ONIX headstages?

🛠️ We’ve just uploaded a tutorial that details how to stream Neuropixels data from Bonsai to Open Ephys GUI so you can use its high-density probe visualizers while retaining the flexibility of Bonsai.
