Abstract
Flexible polymer-based microelectrode arrays (MEAs) can reduce tissue inflammation and foreign body response and greatly prolong the lifetime of neural implants. However, standard and customized polymer devices are only accessible to limited groups. To better promote the development and application of polymer MEAs, we have launched the Polymer Implantable Electrode (PIE) Foundry and developed a 64-channel Parylene C-based MEA with generic electrodes layout that can be used to record from both cortical and sub-cortical regions in rodents. In addition, a practical dip-coating protocol for the insertion of the flexible standard Parylene MEA is developed.
