Brian Jamieson | The past, present and future of silicon neural probes for high density extracellular neuronal recording.
INS Seminar Room, Campus Timone, Red Wing, 5th Floor.
Abstract :
Examples of data using DBC probes in a variety of acute and chronic preps and from multiple species will be shown. Principals from DBC (Maryland, USA – currently 7 employees) are visiting neurophysiology labs worldwide to gain a better understand of the needs and wishes of the probe user community, and to plan a responsive R&D roadmap to continue improving our products and introducing new ones.
ABOUT DBC:DBC was formed in 2013, based on a fine feature wafer fabrication and microelectronic packaging technology that we helped develop for HHMI/JFRC (Howard Hughes Medical Institute/Janelia Farm Research Campus.) We have continued to innovate probe technology and are dedicated to becoming the world leader in neural interfacing for neuroscience research. ABOUT BRIAN:Brian Jamieson earned his PhD at the University of Michigan under advisor Ken Wise – who is considered the father of silicon probe technology – and focused on “active” probes that enabled high channel count by monolithically integrating CMOS circuitry. From 2002-2006 Brian took a break from probe work to develop mass spectrometers for NASA, but re-entered the field with encouragement from collaborator Gyorgy Buzsaki when HHMI opened Janelia Farm in 2006 and committed resources to advancing next generation neural probe technology.
