This new penetrating microelectrode array has characteristics un-matched by other neural interface devices currently available for peripheral nervous system neurophysiological research.
We conclude from these studies that HD-USEAs do not cause overall global effects on the animals, at least up to the two-month period investigated here. These results demonstrate for the first time that the consequences of high-electrode count intrafascicular arrays compare with other peripheral nerve electrodes currently available for clinical or investigational neuromodulation.
These studies demonstrate that HD-USEAs provide a useful neural interface without causing a nerve crush injury that would otherwise negate their use in acute preparations (<12 h).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
