Flexible Penetrating Cortical Multielectrode Array and Manufacturing Methods Thereof
Engineers from UC San Diego have developed a patent-pending multi-electrode array (MEA) technology that can achieve 3D mapping of cortical tissue while eliciting minimal tissue damage. The enhanced spatial resolution of this technology is 10-100X better than current electrocorticography (ECoG) like sensors and the flexible substrate that holds the MEAs is less than 10 microns in thickness allowing full conformity to the surface of the brain and therefore better connectivity with neural cells in tissue. Furthermore, the fabrication process permits the electrode array to be readily integrated with other electronic devices. This invention has significant promise for single unit recordings from cortical tissues in networks of thousands of neurons.
