This system takes advantage of currently available computer technology and MEMs fabrication techniques and we use it to examine activity from many CNS neurons in parallel during realistic closed-loop flight of the hawkmoth, Manduca sexta. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165027002002236?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01650...
