The behavior studies assume the "freely-moving" or "freely behaving" status of the tethered lab animals despite limitations to their movement imposed by fiber or wire tether. The FiWi Recording System removes those restrictions. Its main components are an optoelectric cannula with LED attached to an optical fiber and four recording electrodes, the wireless headstage*, and a corresponding electrophysiology console. The positions of wire and fiber tips of the optoelectric cannulas are customized to fit required recording and illuminating brain areas.
