  • Examined the sensitivity of interference to electrode separation, particularly in short cuffs.

    • Main Results:

    • Interference pick-up is sensitive to electrode separation.
    • This sensitivity is particularly pronounced in short electrode cuffs.
    • Nonlinearity in the extrafascicular field plays a role in interference.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing electrode separation is critical for reducing interference.
    • Placing end electrodes a few millimeters from cuff ends can significantly improve signal quality.
    • These findings offer practical guidance for designing better neural recording devices.
