I presented our work at the Physiology 2021 conference held virtually this year (abstract). We discussed some of the latest technical advances in electrophysiology during the symposium 'Seeing, Feeling, and Hearing Electrophysiology in Excitable Organs: Next-generation Electrophysiology' organised by Dr Callum Zgierski-Johnston, Universitäts-Herzzentrum, Freiburg, Germany and Dr Rachel Myles, University of Glasgow, UK. Thank you for organizing the great symposium!
