Cyberkinetics iridium tip microelectrode array for chronic neural stimulation & recording - Cortical long term microstimulation has the potential to revolutionize the field of neuroprostheses. Electrical stimulation of various cortical regions has been employed for many years for purposes ranging from mapping of brain regions to manipulating behavioral decisions. Initial studies of surface electrical stimulation involved activating large regions of the brain in order to test perception in sensory areas and gross movement in motor regions. However, the field of intra-cortical microstimulation can provide an understanding of the underlying effects of forcing current into the brain beyond activating very large volumes of neurons surrounding the electrode site.
