Micro-SD Card Low Power Showdown – Part II

Micro-SD Card Low Power Showdown – Part II

In 2020, I worked with an intern to characterize SD power characteristics (view the archive). As my colleagues and I embark on a mass deployment of new devices in 2025, it is time to revisit the perennial question: what SD card is best? Specifically, what SD card has the lowest current draw in an Arduino-based, […]

How to Measure Electrode Impedance on the Bench

Impedance is the opposition to electrical current in a circuit, and in brain electrodes, it matters because high impedance can reduce signal quality, leading to poor detection of neural activity or inefficient stimulation delivery.
