Inspiration
In honor of the biological inspiration of neural networks and AI, we introduce OpenElectrode, a cheap open source multielectrode array intended to facilitate cutting edge neuroscience research.
What it does
Our product provides an open source, cheap, framework to facilitate cutting edge neuroscience research.
It contains 64 electrodes arranged in an 8x8 grid. These electrodes are broken out into pins along the sides of the PCB.
How we built it
The design, schematic, and board layout was conceptualized inside of KiCad.
A custom KiCad symbol and footprint was created for the device, containing sixty-four electrodes. These were then routed to sixty four pin connectors along the sides of the device.
This device can then be directly wired into an Arduino or similar microcontroller using standard jumper cables to read the electrical activity across all sixty-four electrodes.
What we learned
We learned how to navigate KiCad and the basics of PCB design.
