Neuropixels probes are transforming neurophysiology. They have 1,000 sites closely spaced on a 1 cm shank, and allow recordings of up to 500 neurons per electrode. This practical course aims to train students and postdocs from a wide array of laboratories to use these probes and to spike sort using Kilosort and Phy

The course was supported by the Wellcome Trust and generously funded and hosted by the Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre. Further courses are planned for 2020 and 2021. See the Neuropixels Wiki for alternative courses.
