Technical characterization of an 8 or 16 channel recording system to acquire electrocorticograms of mice

Abstract

When performing electrocorticography, reliable recordings of bioelectrical signals are essential for signal processing and analysis. The acquisition of cellular electrical activity from the brain surface of mice requires a system that is able to record small signals within a low frequency range. This work presents a recording system with self-developed software and shows the result of a technical characterization in combination with self-developed electrode arrays to measure electrocorticograms of mice.
