Abstract

The authors describe a VLSI peripheral system designed for the analog recording of electric signals from a network of living neurons growing on a glass plate containing 64 microelectrodes. The chip also provides for stimulating the neurons with up to four externally generated signals that can be routed to any of the microelectrodes
