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 Fi-Wi Recording System removes those restrictions. Its main components are an opto-electric 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 opto-electric cannulas are customized to fit required recording and illuminating brain areas.
