    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Implantable Devices

    Background:

    • Accurate long-term electrophysiological recordings are crucial for understanding brain function.
    • Existing electrode arrays often face limitations in flexibility and biocompatibility for chronic cortical implantation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the construction of a high-density, multi-channel fluid potential electrode array.
    • To evaluate the suitability of this array for long-term chronic implantation on cortical surfaces.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a flat, flexible, and non-irritating multi-channel fluid potential electrode array.
    • Implantation of the array over cortical surfaces with compound curvature and in restricted regions (e.g., visual cortex).
    • Acquisition of electrophysiological data and gross anatomy from animal models.
