TBSI News and Announcements
8/8/08
Led by Dr. Warren Meck and graduate student Ruey Cheng, the lab is beta testing our 15 channel wireless system to record single unit and local field potential data from rats while they are learning to discriminate between different signal durations. The use of psychophysical procedures of this sort allows researchers to identify ‘timing’ neurons in the brain that are associated with the different anchor durations, in Warren’s case… 4s and 16s.
Other neurons can be linked to signal onset, motor responses, or the delivery of food reward. Preliminary results suggest that the dorsal lateral striatum contains neurons that differentially respond to either the 4-s or the 16-s anchor duration, although the rat is simultaneously timing both durations on the same trial. Moreover, the firing of these ‘timing’ neurons appears to be independent of other sensory or motor events.

2/22/08 - Today, Triangle BioSystems (TBSI) of Durham, North Carolina makes a significant product announcement to enhance tethered neural recording experiments on freely moving animals.
We are announcing our M-Series (for Multiplexer-Series) products based on customer feedback we have received that use our existing lightweight, miniaturized tethered headstages for neural recording experiments. The product has been under development for much of the past year and is a tribute to our engineering, development and manufacturing teams.
Specifically, this unique product will significantly reduce the number of wires required for a freely moving animal test in a tethered environment without reducing the input electrode channel count at the headstage. Our new M-Series headstage(s) and receiver(s) are used with an inexpensive 10 wire cable and 10 channel commutator that can now connect to over 200 independent channels of electrode connections! Bulky and heavy cable harnesses and expensive motorized commutators for channel counts above 32 channels are no longer needed for your behavioral experiments.

In fact, a single 4 wire tethered connection can connect up to 30 channels. If more channels are required beyond 30, a researcher can easily add an additional M-Series 30 channel headstage at the animal, with only 1 additional wire in the tethered cable. For example, a 60 channel, 90 channel or 120 channel M-Series headstage system will only have 5, 6 or 7 wires respectively coming off the animal thus providing for a far more lighter and mobile tethered headstage system. The maximum M-Series 210 channel system will have only 10 wires to provide great opportunities for neural experimentation at an affordable cost.
We expect the M-Series headstages to offer an affordable tethered solution for customers that have not yet moved to a wireless environment and require more channels using their low cost commutators. We are please to make the M-Series products available to the neural recording community.
For additional information, please refer to our Neural Recording page, and refer to the “M-Series” Multiplexer Headstage product briefs. Should you have any more questions, please contact our office at 919-361-2663.

1/16/08 - TBSI announces new Trade-In and Upgrade programs for existing customers to maintain product investment value.

Now, customers that have bought 4 channel and 15 channel wireless systems can trade “up” to 15 channel and 31 channel wireless systems. “We are protecting our customer’s investment with this announcement” said Mike Calarco, Sales and Marketing Director. An example of a trade-in scenario would be a customer that has bought a 15 channel wireless system last year, but now has expanded the parameters of their testing project. With the special pricing of the trade-in program, they can trade-in their 15 channel product for a brand new 31 channel wireless system. This allows customers on limited budgets to expand their testing ranges. Also available are upgrades from 16 channel tethered products to 32 channel tethered products. A future trade-in program has also been announced for customers that currently buy TBSI 8 channel tethered products so they can be confident that their investment will be protected.

The TBSI upgrade program allows customers that have purchased previous versions of our popular hardware to upgrade to a newer version of the same product to take advantage of the latest enhancements. Special pricing will allow customers on a limited budget to maintain the latest version of their favorite hardware products.

For additional information, including available trade-in and upgrade paths and pricing, please contact TBSI at 919-361-2663.
