A recording system to monitor neuron’s activities
Neurons communicate by “action potentials”
Action potential is an all-or-nothing signal

Near field signal 1) Intra-cellular action potential : rapid change in trans membrane
potential cause by the voltage dependent trans membrane conductance (H-H model)
2) Extra-cellular action potential : solenoidal current around neurons, few hundred µm
3) Local field potential (LFP) : coherent low frequency change, a few mm
Far field signal 1) Electrocorticograms (EcoG) : sub-dural
2) Electroencephalograph (EEG) : on the scalp
