ApproachApproach• Culture brain cells directly on to a recording surface and re-
embody the ‘brain’ within a robotic body.
– Multi-Electrode Array (MEA) Multi-Electrode Array (MEA) allows recording from 128 allows recording from 128 electrodes across the entire electrodes across the entire culture.culture.
