NeuropixelsV1e Headstage

These are the devices available on the NeuropixelsV1e Headstage:

• Supports one NeuropixelsV1e:
  • A single 1cm long shank probe with a 70 x 24 µm shank cross-section.
  • 960-electrode low-impedance TiN electrodes total.
  • 384 parallel, dual-band (AP, LFP), low-noise recording channels.
    • AP band at 0.3-10 kHz, sampled at 30 kHz
    • LFP band at 0.5-500 Hz, sampled at 2.5 kHz
• Bno055: 9-axis IMU for real-time, 3D orientation tracking sampled up to ~100 Hz for easy automated commutation with Open Ephys commutators.

Tip

Visit the NeuropixelsV1e Headstage Hardware Guide to learn more about the hardware such as weight, dimensions, and proper power voltages.

The example workflow below can by copy/pasted into the Bonsai editor using the clipboard icon in the top right. This workflow:

• Captures electrophysiology data from the Neuropixels 1.0 probe and saves it to disk.
• Captures orientation data from the Bno055 IMU and saves it to disk.
• Monitors the NeuropixelsV1e Headstage port status.
• Automatically commutates the tether if there is a proper commutator connection.

The following pages in the Neuropixels V1e Headstage Guide provide a breakdown of the above example workflow.
