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.

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.

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.
