Optical imaging and manipulation technologies cannot be easily integrated with electrical recordings due to generation of light-induced artifacts. Here the authors report the optimization of transparent graphene microelectrode fabrication to achieve artifact-free electrical recordings along with deep 2-photon imaging in vivo.
