Figure 1.2:
Fiberless & Wireless Headstage
The
Fiberless & Wireless Headstage
(Fig.
) is an electronic device that creates the link between the opto-electric can-
nula and the electrophysiology console. Its primary use is to record, amplify and digitize the electrophysiological signal.
This is done using the
Intan RHD 2132
chip. Its secondary use is as an LED driver. It sends pulse sequences to the stim-
ulation LED contained in the cannula. The headstage also contains a battery that powers the LED as well as all wireless
transmissions. The headstage is secured to the cannula using a snap-on connector.
• The
Antenna
is a small ridge on the side of the headstage used to transmit wireless electrical signal.
• The
Headstage connector
, found on the underside of the headstage, links it to the cannula transmitting data and
power.
