With programmable pixels, novel sensor improves imaging of neural activity

Neurons communicate electrically so to understand how they produce brain functions such as memory, neuroscientists must track how their voltage changes — sometimes subtly — on the timescale of milliseconds. In a new paper in Nature Communications, MIT researchers describe a novel image sensor with the capability to substantially increase that ability. The invention led … Read more
