Project summary: We are developing, using off-the-shelf components, low cost amplifiers and manipulators for experimenting with the nervous system of insects. Our goal is to increase the public's understanding of nervous system function through the development of low-cost tools. Currently, students only need only a laptop with a line-in input to record the neural activity. We are developing our device to work with the XO to demonstrate extremely low-cost high-accessibility science.
Project goal:Bring neuroscience to everyone. One Cockroach Per Laptop (OCPL)!
