This research develops an affordable, scalable platform for recording electrical activity from brain organoids. Using innovative basket-shaped sensors made from a low-cost conductive material, the system enables simultaneous recording from dozens of mini-brains, accelerating drug discovery and improving our understanding of brain diseases with more human-relevant laboratory models.

This research develops advanced optical imaging technology to observe neurons firing in real time throughout the brain. By combining high-speed microscopy with flexible fibre-optic image relays, the system overcomes the challenge of light scattering, enabling clearer recordings of neural activity and deeper insights into brain function.
