Super cool. Improved microendoscopes for brain imaging.

They achieve extended fields of view w/ custom aspheric microlenses to correct aberrations.

Colleagues at @AllenInstitute, friends and my fellow neuroscientists, I just pushed a new paper which I believe is important to the field. We found a way to remove independent noise in systems neuroscience! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.15.341602v1
