@fatresearchcat @ResearchINTouch Hey, hard to answer as it depends a lot on your application. We use small solenoids by Dancer Design for most studies now when precise timing is required. For other studies we also use manual stimulation…

I will soon be looking for a postdoc (w/ Alessandro Farnè) to investigate the neural correlates of cane sensing in the sighted and blind. Please get in touch (DM or email) if you are interested and would like more information!

@ResearchINTouch Very sad news! 🥲
