Characterization of Neuroimplantable penetrating electrode arrays and development of a novel current injection method for precise lesion studies
Characterizing the causes of electrode array damages after current injections in the cerebral cortex of rodent brains. Correlating the level of tissue damage to the current injected and ultimately develop a novel protocol in which stable tissue damage is induced and the electrode array damage is minimized. Additionally, electrochemically regenerate the properties of already-damaged electrode arrays based on the type of damage.
