Research analysis
Every day this stream takes new work from the research library, papers, preprints, grants and trials, and asks one question of each: what does this change for microelectrode array hardware, the acquisition chain, and the instrumentation that connects living tissue to silicon? Written to be useful to a working scientist and legible to a careful newcomer.

Directional microelectrode sEEG, and what the ring comparison cannot settle
A 64-channel directional depth array detected kainate-induced seizures earlier and across more tissue than simulated ring contacts. The result is real, but the zone-level statistic gives the array sixteen looks where the ring gets one.

The array as parameter estimator, not just recorder
Biophysical neuron models fitted from a few minutes of extracellular recording predicted responses to unseen multi-electrode stimulation with 90.6 percent accuracy. The most useful number in the paper is one buried in an appendix about current shunting.
