optoprobe
Also known as: optoprobes
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
In addition to traditional electrodes, two new types of neural probes have been developed in recent years: optoprobes based on optogenetics and magnetrodes that record neural magnetic signals.

Implementation Constraints
Use of optoprobes requires an optogenetics context. Some variants additionally integrate microfluidic channels according to the abstract.; depends on optogenetics
The abstract does not establish that all optoprobes eliminate artifacts or provide magnetic recording; those appear as subtype-specific or alternative capabilities.; the abstract does not specify exact device architectures or benchmark performance
