Research amplifiers
Neuralynx : Lynx
This amplifier has been used from xxxx to xxxx in order to record only microelectrodes
Neuralynx : ATLAS
This amplifier is used since October 2012 in order to record microelectrodes and macroelectrodes.
- maximum number of channels : 160
- samplig rate : flexible but set to 4kHz for the macroelectrdoes and 32 kHz for the microelectrodes
- input range : flexible but set to +/- 4mV
- bandpass : flexible but set to 0.1 - 1000 Hz for the macroelectrodes and 0.1 - 8000 Hz for the microelectrodes
