She mentioned using the Deltaphase Isothermal Pad to maintain the temperature of the brain slices if we want to keep the system outside of the incubator (3/7/14 meeting) - We decided to plan on having the system fit inside the incubator, so this is a back up option.
Will the humidity be a problem for the battery/system (3/7/14 meeting) - Steve said that the battery will be fine and the microcontroller should be fine for such a short amount of time, but we can build a sealed casing for it if needed.
