Operations Guide

2.1 System Setup

The following steps assume the

Fi-Wi Opto-electric Cannula

is already implanted in the region-of-interest of the animal’s

brain (Fig.

2.1

). The process of implantation is not described in this document.

1. Screw each antenna into the

SMA Connector

. Fold the antenna upwards for optimal reception.
