This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a new type of microelectrode array for basic neuroscience and, eventually, rehabilitation medicine research applications. Researchers, clinicians and bioengineers need to have finer and more specific access to individual neurons. The proposed device significantly improves both spatial and temporal specificity and provides numerous advantages over existing technology. Only simple and well-known materials (silicon) and fabrication procedures are employed. Numerous choices are available for contact and other materials, and only off-the-shelf supporting components are needed. The first devices to be constructed will be planar, but later devices could be fabricated in non-planar geometries. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The proposed device should have wide marketability within the basic neuroscience research and rehabilitation medicine research communities. On a longer time scale, this device has the potential to penetrate the much more difficult, but potentially larger medical devices market in the area of functional electric stimulation.

这个小型企业创新研究阶段I项目将开发一个新的 用于基本神经科学的微电极阵列的类型，最终 康复医学研究应用。 研究人员，临床医生 生物工程师需要更精致，更具体地访问个人 神经元。 提出的设备显着改善了空间和 时间特异性，并提供了与现有的许多优势 技术。 只有简单而知名的材料（硅）和 制造程序被采用。 有许多选择可用于 接触和其他材料，只有现成的支撑组件 需要。 要构建的第一个设备将是平面，但以后 可以在非平面几何形状中制造设备。 拟议的商业应用：拟议的设备应具有较宽的 基本神经科学研究和康复中的可销售性 医学研究社区。 在更长的时间范围内，此设备具有 穿透更加困难但可能更大的潜力 功能性电刺激领域的医疗设备市场。
