A screw microdrive for adjustable chronic unit recording in monkeys.
Abstract
A screw microdrive is described that attaches to the grid system used for recording
single neurons from brains of awake behaving monkeys. Multiple screwdrives can be
mounted on a grid over a single cranial opening. This method allows many electrodes
to be implanted chronically in the brain and adjusted as needed to maintain isolation.

We study circuits for cognition. Using a combination of neurophysiology and biomedical
engineering, we focus on the interaction between brain areas during visual perception,
decision-making, and motor planning. Specific projects include the role of frontal
cortex in metacognition, the role of cerebellar-frontal circuits in action timing,
the neural basis of "good enough" decision-making (satisficing), and the neural mechanisms
of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
