Abstract
A robotic neural recording system can sense the intended motion of the mouse that it is connected to, and it moves with the animal as it explores physical spaces. The robot can support recording interfaces that are much heavier and larger than mice and provide new capabilities for brain-wide recordings in locomoting mice.
