 probes are poised to transform neurophysiology. They have close to 1,000 sites closely spaced on a 1 cm shank, and allow recordings of up to 500 neurons per electrode. They are scheduled to be available to the public at cost in 2018.Ìý

In preparation for this release, this practical course aimed to train students and postdocs, from a wide array of laboratories, to use the  probes and to spike sort using KilosortÌý²¹²Ô»å .Ìý
