High-resolution extracellular electrophysiology is the gold standard for recording spikes from distributed neural populations, and especially powerful when combined with optogenetics manipulation of specific cell types high temporal resolution. We integrated these approaches into prototype Neuropixels Opto probes, which combine electronic photonic circuits. These devices pack 960 electrical sites two sets 14 light emitters onto a 1 cm shank, allowing spatially addressable optogenetic...
Technology-assisted dietary assessment has the potential to improve accuracy of self-reported intake. This study evaluates MealScan3D (MS3D), a mobile device-based food recording system, which uses three-dimensional images obtain volumes and an application capture algorithm-driven intake data. Participants (n = 179) were randomly assigned trained record three meals using either MS3D or written (WFR). Generous amounts standardized provided, participants self-selected portions for each food....
