Abstract
For long-term applications of implantable neural probes, a drug-delivery system can be employed to improve the electrical recording/stimulus quality by means of releasing biochemical for reduction of tissue reactions. We report a 128-channel MEA with eight fiber-embedded microfluidic channels. The integration of a large number of electrodes on a flexible surface required an improved flattening method. To verify the feasibility of the proposed device, liquid transportation via microfluidic channels and multi-channel neural recordings were performed. The local field potential of a rodent brain was successfully recorded, and the water-fall analysis showed a constant flow rate in the microfluidic channels.
