Miniature Untethered EEG Recorder Improves
Advanced Neuroscience Methodologies

The NAT-1 (Neural Activity Tracker) is a highly miniaturised wireless electronic recording system created in an industry-academic collaboration by the Universities of York, Aberdeen, and Cybula Ltd., with specific applications in rodent-based neuroscience. In preclinical research, rodent electroencephalography (EEG) is often used in acting animals. The difficulty in distinguishing EEG...

Analogue Computers

An analogue computer is a type of computer that uses physical components and electrical signals to perform mathematical operations. These computers were prevalent from the 1930s to the 1960s and were used for a variety of applications, including scientific research, engineering, and military calculations. The earliest analogue computers used mechanical...

The First Integrated Circuit

The integrated circuit, or microchip, is an essential component of modern electronics, powering everything from computers and smartphones to cars and medical devices. But like all technological breakthroughs, the integrated circuit had to start somewhere. The first integrated circuit was developed in the late 1950s, and it revolutionized the field...

Stored Programme Computers: The ENIAC

The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, or ENIAC, was one of the first electronic digital computers, and it was a milestone in the history of computing. ENIAC was developed during World War II to help the United States Army calculate artillery firing tables. It was an enormous machine, covering 1,800...
