Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: Implant chronic multichannel electrode to record the same neural circuits over time with ability to perform fMRI while collecting electrophysiology data.

2. Background Information and Objective: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Section on Cognitive Neurophysiology and Imaging (SCNI) requires the purchase of multichannel microwire brush arrays for conducting longitudinal electrophysiology and functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments to study the neural circuits associated with sensori-cognitive processing in the brain. In addition to monitoring multiple neurons simultaneously and tracking changes over time, these multichannel microelectrodes were designed to function in combination with functional resonance imaging (fMRI). SCNI is one of only a few groups in the world to employ this convergence of the latest technical methods of electrophysiology and neuroimaging.

Recent advances in electrode technology have improved efficiency in sampling of neural signals by simultaneous measurements across multiple sites as well as allowed for longitudinal sampling of these same sites across durations of weeks and months.

3. Generic Name of Product: Multichannel chronic microwire brush arrays
