didn't some grad students at mit wrap the intan adc/amplifier with an fpga and open source board design like 10 years ago? i think the component prices came in under $200.

dunno about signal or clock quality though. (i suppose that's a function of the intan package)

Sometime after 2010 all university fpga research up to that point was given up on or erased/forgotten.

There was a lot of exciting stuff being worked on 2007-2010 in that field.

Why did that happen?

I've been asking this for the past half dozen years and haven't heard a good reason yet.

ok, i think maybe it was open epyhs, and it looks like it's 5k euro for a 64 channel starter system. (with the intan devices being the most expensive, costing on the order of 500 to 1000 per 32 channel package)

still an order of magnitude cheaper than the systems i knew and open source to boot.
