# [Combined electrical and optical recording of multi-scale neural circuit dynamics](https://neurons.cambridgeneurotech.com/webinars/s5e3)

 Written by [Cambridge NeuroTech](https://neurons.cambridgeneurotech.com/webinars/author/cambridge-neurotech) | April 30, 2024

| In this webinar, Chris Lewis from Fritjof Helmchen's lab showcases new approaches for electrophysiological recordings using our [silicon neural probes](https://www.cambridgeneurotech.com/neural-probes) and surface arrays combined with diverse optical methods such as wide-field or 2-photon imaging, fiber photometry, and optogenetic perturbations in awake, behaving mice.   Multi-modal recording of single units and local field potentials across cortex, hippocampus and thalamus alongside calcium activity via GCaMP6F in cortical neurons in triple-transgenic animals or in hippocampal astrocytes via viral transduction are brought to bear to reveal hitherto inaccessible and under-appreciated aspects of coordinated dynamics in the brain.   Chris is a neuroscientist and engineer currently doing a post-doc in Fritjof Helmchen's Laboratory of Neural Circuit Dynamics where he combines his multidisciplinary skills in the pursuit of the development of next-generation brain-computer-interfaces. |
