New from @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social, @gatsbyucl.bsky.social, NeuroGEARS & DataJoint: Aeon - an open-source platform combining long-term neural recording with naturalistic behavioural tracking in enriched habitats. 📑 Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Aeon enables: – Continuous Neuropixels recordings – Behavioural tracking – Modular, scalable design – Multi-modal data pipelines – Open-source hardware/software A new tool for neuroscience → aeon.swc.ucl.ac.uk

It was a pleasure to see everyone recently in the European Social Club and European Brain and Behavior Society Meetings. This one was particularly special for Ophelia 🐭 Thanks to the organizers and those who stopped by to discuss our tools 😃 Have a nice and well-deserved vacation! 😎 #OpenEphys

15 years ago, we created the first prototypes of two tools that make multichannel ephys more affordable and scalable. Today, there are 2k+ Open Ephys Acquisition Boards in the field and 500+ pubs using the Open Ephys GUI. Both tools have now been rebuilt for the future of neuroscience. #OpenEphys
