Abstract :
In order to assess the signal to noise ratio and spatial selectivity of nanostructured microelectrodes, our consortium built an original assembly of surface macroelectrodes and deep microelectrode arrays. Acute and chronic assessments were achieved based on rodent and non human primate model. Eventually, we used this device to monitor by association of the surface and deep microelectrodes nominal behavior of the animals and induced epileptic seizure.
