Topic: MesoLF

Jointly designing computational signal extraction and optics allows scalability to larger fields-of-view, lighter and faster functional neuroimaging devices. Using this insight, we developed a modular, mesoscale light field (MesoLF) imaging hardware and software solution (Nature Methods 20(4), 2023) that allows recording from thousands of neurons within volumes of ⌀ 4 × 0.2 mm located at depths of up to 350 μm in the mouse cortex. MesoLF achieves an imaging rate of 18 volumes per second and an effective voxel rate of approximately 40 Megavoxels per second. By using our optical design and compu
