Abstract
Neural interface devices that will allow signals from the human nervous system to control external equipment are extremely important for the next generation of prosthetic systems. A novel multichannel regeneration-type nerve electrode designed to record from and stimulate peripheral nerves has been developed to allow the control of artificial hands and to generate artificial sensations. In this study a novel flexible regeneration microelectrode based on the nerve regeneration principle was designed and fabricated using MEMS technologies. The electrode, which was fabricated on a 25-μm-thick Parylene C substrate, has multiple fluidic channels. Each fluidic channel was 100 μm wide × 30 μm high × 1500 μm long and featured multiple electrodes inside them as recording and stimulating sites. They also served as guidance channels for the regenerating axons.
