We used a recently described all-dry silicon etch process for SOI wafers to fabricate 64-site electrode arrays in stereotrode arrangement for acute cortical recordings. The fork-like probes are connected to preamplification units by flexible, Y-shaped interconnects. This facilitates maximal experimental flexibility for simultaneously recording from all available channels from the cortex of anaesthetised rats. Preconditioned signals are amplified by a novel modular main amp, which may be software or dial controlled. Signals are 16bit digitized, recorded, analyzed, stored and processed on a DSP-based modular data acquisition system. Digital data is processed, filtered and denoised on all up to (4*32) 128 channels based on an extremely fast wavelet transformation framework.
