Live demonstration: In-vivo imaging of neural activity with dynamic vision sensors

Abstract

The demonstration shows the comparison of two novel Dynamic and Active Pixel Vision Sensors (DAVIS) in the context of a simulated neural imaging experiment. The first sensor, the SDAVIS, has, although a lower resolution (188×192) with respect to the previous generation of DAVIS sensors, 10X higher temporal contrast sensitivity. The second sensor, BSIDAVIS, combines a higher resolution (346×260) with a higher light sensitivity (quantum efficiency) because of its Back Side Illumination (BSI) manufacturing.
