Abstract :
An advanced tool for performing rapid accurate stimulation and recording studies in the central nervous system (CNS) has been successfully demonstrated. An all-silicon 64-site, 4-channel microelectrode array (active probe) with the capability of multipolar stimulation fields as well as multipoint recording has been tested in-vivo. The capabilities of this neural probe make it a powerful tool for studying the CNS and in realizing a neuroprosthesis
