We have shown that the theoretical framework of Reservoir Computing (RC) can be applied to in materio computing as a computational layer able to extract exploitable information from physical substrates. However, a physical performance limitation of our current system is the number of interfacing electrodes to the material. We have designed and built a new hardware platform that in- creases the previous 12 electrode system to a 64 multi-purpose electrode system. This extra flexibility allows improved performance.
