connectedpapers.com is a unique, visual tool to help researchers and applied scientists find and explore papers relevant to their field of work.It started as a weekend side project between friends. When we saw how much it improved our own research and development workflows - and got more and more requests from friends and colleagues to use it - we committed to release it to the public.You know... for science.

Thesis project focused on designing and building a miniaturized system for recording, processing and activation of neuronal signals in rat brains. The innovation is in closing the loop on the head-stage and interfacing with the brain through high density silicon probes.- Top to bottom detailed system characterization.- Design, fabrication and testing of an ASIC 32 channel current source.- Development of an online real-time spike sorting algorithm.- Firmware programming for an SoC in Verilog and bare metal embedded C.- Integration to a PCB and demonstration on freely moving lab animals.
