Tim Harris

Janelia Research Campus, Ashburn, VA, USA

 


Tim Harris is a Group Leader and Senior Fellow at the HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus in Ashburn, VA and a Research Professor at Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical Engineering.  At HHMI his group originated Neuropixels and the SpikeGLX software system. At Johns Hopkins, with funding from the NIH BRAIN Initiative, the Harris lab will finalize the family of recording probes with Neuropixels NXT, small enough for more than 10,000 channels in a freely moving mouse.

 

High capacity electrophysiology: Where we are and where can we go

 

Modern microelectronics is transforming electrophysiology research tools and results. Most prominent in this space are the Neuropixels probes (now more than 8000 probes in 7500+ labs) and INTAN multiplexer chips, the core of nearly every other recording system.  This talk will touch the history of ephys, show the origin of Neuropixels and other technologies, discuss the data digestion logjam this new capacity has generated, and discuss the various new probes (for primates and, even smaller probes from NIH funded projects) emerging from this effort.
