Optical Brain Computer Interface: Using a Miniscope to Detect Multi-Neuronal Dynamics During Cognition-Related Events

In this shortform book, Sun, French, and Unnithan explore state-of-the-art optical recording techniques, with a focus on the revolutionary miniaturized fluorescence microscope - the miniscope - for real-time and in vivo monitoring of multi-neuronal dynamics during cognition-related events.
