Phase3A probes [which version do I have? ]

To record data from a Neuropixels Phase3A probe, you will need:

  • Headstage (IMEC-supplied)
  • Cable (IMEC-supplied)
  • Basestation (IMEC-supplied)
  • FPGA: Xilinx Kintex-7 KC705. E.g. from Digikey
  • Acquisition computer
    • Required: gigabit ethernet port
    • Recommended: good GPU, SSD hard drive (not the same drive the OS is on)

Phase3B probes [which version do I have? ]

Phase 3B probes (to be sold in 2018) can use the FPGA above but with a different headstage/cable/basestation; or they can be used with IMEC's PXIe-based system. See neuropixels.org for more.
