Single-board loggers

SpikeLog-32

SpikeLog-32 is a 32 channel single-board neural logger that also features ultrasonic audio and motion sensor logging. At a size of just 23 x 16mm and a weight of only 2.3g (not including battery), this board is a perfect, lightweight solution for recording neural signals in very small animals such as mice. Its on-board microphone is capable of recording animal calls up to 80kHz, and its 9-axis motion sensor records accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data. For specifications, see here.

SpikeLog-64

SpikeLog-64 is a 64 channel single-board neural logger that also features ultrasonic audio and motion sensor logging. At a size of just 20 x 29mm and a weight of only 3.3g (not including battery), this board is a perfect, lightweight solution for recording neural signals in small animals such as rats and marmosets, among others. It’s on-board microphone is capable of recording animal calls up to 80kHz, and its 9-axis motion sensor records accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data. For specifications, see here. For information on pin numbering see here.

SpikeLog-128

SpikeLog-128 is a single-board logger that can be configured for 32, 64 or 128 channels. It includes a 9-axis motion sensor. It is only 30 x 30mm and weighs just 4.4g, making it suitable for recording neural signals in animals as small as rats or marmosets. The neural inputs are connected via a pair of 70-pin molex connectors.  For specifications see here.  In general, it will connect to the electrode assembly via an adapter board. We have a Cereport adapter available to connect the SpikeLog-128 to Blackrock’s Cereport pedestal.  However, if you wish to make your own adapters for connecting to SpikeLog-128, you can find the relevant information here.
