Microfabricated silicon neural probes have established as the dominant neuroscience technology for brain studies by achieving ever increasing densities and numbers of simultaneous recording electrodes. This tutorial will provide a general overview of existing techniques and requirements to perform neural recording, as well as an in-depth review of in vivo CMOS neural probes: technology requirements, materials, circuit techniques, design problems and possible solutions. A discussion on future trends and remaining challenges will also be included.
