Electrical Methods in Neuroscience: Multi-electrode Recordings, Spike Sorting, Raster Plots

This video is an overview of historical and modern methods to record from---and stimulate---neurons using electricity and electronics.

Methods covered in the video include intracellular recordings (patch clamping), extracellular recording with sharp electrodes, and multi-electrode arrays. We explain the basics of spike sorting and summarizing the activity of neurons with raster plots.

Beyond recording, we can use the same technology to inject current into the brain and stimulate neurons!
