Webinar with Live Demo and Q&A

Wednesday, July 26

10:00 am EDT

Join us for a 1-hour online demonstration and live question and answer session about using Pathfinder V2.8 with the Neuropixels Trajectory Explorer. Hosted by:

• Ed Friedrich, Life Sciences Business Manager, New Scale Technologies
• Andrew Peters, Principal Investigator, Peters Lab, University of Oxford Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics

Using New Scale's MPM System Pathfinder Software V2.8 with the Neuropixels Trajectory Explorer (Peters Lab, University of Oxford) lets researchers view probe locations in a 3D brain model as insertions progress. This works for planning and simulation mode as well as for real-time probe insertions.
