- Used the Utah array in visual stimulus-evoked response in cats.
- 58.6% of electrodes in the array recorded neural activity.
- The density of the electrodes in the UIEA makes it impossible to simply push the needles into the cortex with forceps. This only results in surface dimpling, incomplete insertion, and possible cortical damage.
- We have instead designed a high speed pneumatic insertion tool which takes advantage of viscoelectric properties of the cortical tissue by advancing the electrodes into the tissue at very high velocity.
