Information:
Symposia/Meeting: Monday, October 19,
6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Location: McCormick Place
Campus, Room: S404ABCD
The goal of this symposium is to create awareness among
new investigators and established scientists of the diverse
applications of micro-electrode array systems. This session
will illustrate why this system is ideal for studying network
electrophysiology, increasing throughput of conventional
microelectrode recordings, and enabling researchers to quickly
and easily perform electrophysiological studies regardless
of their scientific background. International speakers from
industry and academia will present their research enabled
by innovative neuroscience research methods with multi-electrode
array systems in a variety of preparations. Organized by
AutoMate Scientific Inc., Berkeley, CA, USA and Alpha MED
Sciences Co., Ltd. Osaka, Japan.
