Nucleus has been designed to support the constantly evolving research in neuroscience. Accompanying you in your journey in the lab.

Forge ahead and advance your setup to a portable system that has the ability to reach 512 recording channels and record from one or multiple subjects simultaneously.

With the Nucleus, you have the ability to integrate electrical stimulation sources in the same box, while using the same software.

The rich I/O interface syncs with external devices while utilizing the I/O panel. This is done while using the open platform to build unique applications in a friendly environment.
