title: An autonomous, broadband, multi-channel neural recording system for freely behaving primates.
abstract: Successful laboratory proof-of-concept experiments with neural prosthetic systems motivate continued algorithm and hardware development. For these efforts to move beyond traditional fixed laboratory setups, new tools are needed to enable broadband, multi-channel, long duration neural recording from freely behaving primates. In this paper we present a dual-channel, battery powered, neural recording system with integrated 3-axis accelerometer for use with chronically implanted electrode arrays. The recording system, called HermesB, is self-contained, autonomous, programmable and capable of recording broadband neural and head acceleration data to a removable compact flash card for up to 48 hours.
