  • Customization of electrode dimensions and configuration to match patient-specific neuroanatomy.
  • Experimental validation using animal models (cats) to compare intracortical stimulation with surface electrodes.

    • Main Results:

    • The new design allows for simple customization of electrode lengths and arrangement.
    • Intracortical stimulation of the primary visual cortex in cats proved more effective than surface electrode stimulation.
    • The neural interface is suitable for both stimulating inner cortical layers and recording evoked potentials.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented manufacturing technology enables patient-specific intracortical electrode design.
    • Intracortical electrodes show enhanced effectiveness for stimulating the primary visual cortex.
    • This technology holds promise for improved neural interface applications in neuroscience and medicine.
