Our neuromorphic BMI lab is equipped with specialized tools, including an circular open-field maze for studying spatial learning and memory in hippocampus, and a T-maze for investigating decision-making processes and associative learning in rodents. These tools allow us to conduct comprehensive studies at both the behavioral and neural physiological levels.

At the Neuromorphic Brain-Machine Interface Lab, we prioritize the well-being and precise handling of the rodent subjects during experimental procedures. Our advanced rodent surgery and anesthesia systems are designed to ensure the highest standards of care and accuracy. Our surgical suite is equipped with state-of-the-art stereotaxic frames that allow for precise targeting and manipulation of specific brain regions, facilitating electrical probe implantation and neural interfacing experiments. Additionally, our anesthesia systems provide stable and controlled anesthetic delivery, minimizing stress and ensuring the safety of the animals throughout surgical procedures. 

These systems are essential for our research on neural dynamics, memory, and associative learning, as they enable us to perform intricate neurosurgical interventions with precision and care. By maintaining rigorous surgical and anesthesia protocols, we ensure the reliability of our experimental outcomes and the welfare of our rodent models.

Our lab utilizes the LabLynx acquisition system for electrophysiological neural recording in freely moving animals. LabLynx is a battery-powered wireless device that records electrophysiology data from digital multiplexing headstages and transmits it to a router up to 10 meters away, depending on the environment. LabLynx receives digitized neural signals from up to 4 lightweight, wired, digital multiplexing headstages (HS-xx-mux) for 16 to 256 recording channels.
