Community Voice
Community Voice is a hub for voices from the neuroscience community: neuroscientists, engineers, and method developers working across brain research, disease modeling, toxicology, and drug discovery.
Neuroscience today spans everything from biology-driven questions (how neural circuits develop, function, and fail in disease) to technology-driven innovation (new methods, advanced analysis, and neurocomputing approaches that connect neural data with computation and device interfaces). These insights are increasingly translated into scalable, high-throughput assays that accelerate therapeutic discovery and strengthen decision-making in drug development.
Community Voice brings these perspectives together, highlighting the people, ideas, and real-world research choices shaping the field.
User Stories
Meet the people behind the experiments: who they are as scientists and as individuals, what drives their work, and how HD-MEA technology advances their daily research. These pieces are more personal, shining a light on lab journeys, values, and perspectives, grounded in real-world experience with advanced tools and workflows.
Author Interviews
Highlight of specific studies, papers, and projects that reveal new insights in the field. These conversations focus on the science itself, directly from the author’s perspective, unpacking the research context, experimental approach, and key takeaways. Learn how leading experts use advanced electrophysiology platforms, assays, and analysis workflows.
