A friend pointed me to a very useful product for those of us who connect wires to freely moving animals. It is a slip ring commutator manufactured in china by Hangzhou Prosper Mechanical and Electrical Technology Co and sold here in the US by adafru.it. This commutator moves quite freely and is available with many channel options (the 6 channel goes for $17.50). I got my hands on a few and am now contemplating using this as my commutator for ephys recordings. The company makes a 32 channel version which is sold for about $350. I will first test the one I have with my sniff sensor.Monday, April 9, 2012
