The Industry Standard
TDT Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology is the gold standard for measuring neural activity and covers a wide range of spatial and temporal resolutions depending on which technique is used [DOI 10.1038/nn.3839]. Single and multi-neuron firing or local field potentials can be detected via depth probes and global signals, such as EEGs, can be picked up via screws or surface electrodes. By recording the electrical signals generated by neurons, researchers can study how individual cells and neural populations encode information, respond to stimuli, and coordinate behavior.
TDT is widely regarded as the gold-standard in electrophysiology recordings and has been for decades. Our systems are ow-noise amplification, high bit-depth resolution and scale to match every category of extracellular ephys research, so researchers can record anything from four channels of EEG/ EMG for sleep studies to 1024 channels of analog single unit data for closed-loop BMI research.
Why is real-time so important?
Our 50 MHz quartz crystal clock ensures synchronization of every signal that goes through your TDT processor. No jitter. No lag. No guesswork. Because our signal clocks are shared, we can guarantee perfect closed-loop control every time. Competitor systems might use computer CPUs to acquire signals that vary in time delay under load or that require post-processing of multiple signals for alignment. We don’t think that should be the way important research is done.
