We are improving our process to lower artifact and improve the robustness of the uLEDs so future versions will be even better. | |
Please keep in mind we are a research group -- just like yours -- and can only provide limited support. | |
We strongly encourage you to share your questions on our open forum and connect with other neuroscience labs. | |
Our goal is to deliver consistently high quality optoelectrodes with few defects. Given our current resource limitations and experience, we list the acceptable range below. | |
Note 1: | The optoelectrodes delivered will have at least 6 working uLEDs and 24 microelectrodes with acceptable impedance |
Note 2: | An acceptable impedance range greater than 100 kOhm and below 1.5 MOhm |
Note 3: | Flat I-V curves (I = 0 for all V) and linear lines (I = aV where a is not a function of V) indicate dead LEDs. |
Note 4: | Artifacts are generated locally and sometimes globally on the recording
channels. A normal stimulation artifact is 50-2000 uV and 50-200 us wide. |
Note 5: | Do NOT exceed 100uA for any given channel. |
Note 6: | If you choose to use a voltage driver, consider placing a high precision resistor in series and monitor current so you do not exceed the limit. |
Note 7: | Tips on artifact removal can be found at the link above. |
