"It's really the size of the probes that is the differentiator. We could mount them on the head with [a camera] because the headstage is integrated. Everything's just really small... And the four shank electrodes are just perfect for us. Because their depth is the same depth as visual cortex, the four of them span across the region. So that's the other thing is there's much more flexibility of the designs; there's different types of geometries that you can get."

Thalamus drives vocal onsets in the zebra finch courtship song
Michael Long's lab at NYU uses the P128-5 with 4 shanks and a compact span for recordings in the
zebra finch HVC, premotor, and primary motor cortical sites.
A dynamic sequence of visual processing initiated by gaze shifts
Cris Niell's lab at University of Oregon uses the P64-3 with 2 shanks and a linear span for recordings in mice visual cortex, V1.
