Setup Overview
The following diagrams depict overall views of how the Cerebus and the Digital Cerebus Systems are
integrated within a typical laboratory environment. The experiment subject area is both electrically and
optically isolated from the experiment operation and control area. In the Cerebus System, digitization and
amplification takes place inside the Front End Amplifier. The amplifier receives analog signals either
directly from electrodes or via analog headstages then performs differential amplification and digitization.
In the Digital Cerebus System, the neural signals are digitized by the CerePlex digital headstages before
they enter the Digital Hub. Both the Digital Hub and Front End Amplifier are also responsible for
converting the digitized signals into fiber optic data and transferring them to the processor via a fiber
optic link.
