Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A single sensing probe comprising multiple, spatially separate, sensing sites is utilized to sense neural activity. The sensing probe includes multiple conductors each with multiple sensing sites in a fixed geometric arrangement. The sensing probe is configured to comprise multiple combined sensing sites in polytrode configuration. By appropriately combining the wire groupings at each combined sensing site, activity sensed from a single wire with multiple sensing sites, can be coupled with other wires to unmix signals from the spatially separate sites and leverage the power of combinatorics to maximize total recording bandwidth and single neuron/unit yield per wire and per probe.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method comprising: detecting signals via a sensing probe comprising a plurality of electrical conductors, wherein each conductor of the plurality of electrical conductors comprises a plurality of sensing sites, spatially separate combined sensing sites are formed from the plurality of sensing sites by proximate portions of multiple electrical conductors of the plurality of electrical conductors, and no two combined sensing sites are formed by a same combinati…
