Construct Pattern·Research·Since 2022

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.

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
