Abstract

The invention discloses a high-density self-insulating flexible microneedle electrode and a preparation method thereof. An existing flexible cerebral cortex electrode has the problems of low stimulation and recording spatial resolution and incapability of being implanted into the cortex. In addition, the existing hesitant electrode or similar hesitant electrode also has the problems of complex preparation process and high cost. The flexible microneedle electrode comprises a lower insulating layer, an SU-8 boss arranged on the lower insulating layer, and metal conductive pads, metal wires and a flexible microneedle electrode array which are arranged on the SU-8 boss. The longitudinal sections of different positions of the SU-8 boss are inverted trapezoidal. The plurality of metal conductive pads, the plurality of metal wires and the flexible microneedle electrode array are all arranged on the SU-8 boss. By using the microneedle structure, the electrode points of the microneedle electrode array can penetrate into the tissue to realize stimulation and recording with high temporal-spatial resolution. The preparation method has the advantages of simple preparation process and low cost, and also has excellent mechanical matching performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of brain-computer interface, and in particular relates to a micromachining preparation method of a flexible microneedle electrode array for electrophysiological recording and stimulation. The electrode is obtained by combining a flexible microneedle array structure with a metal microelectrode array structure To achieve electrophysiological stimulation and recording at a depth of hundreds of microns in a biological tissue. Background technique [0002] Most people who are acquired blind have damage to only the eye or optic nerve. This has inspired research into a visual cortical prosthesis (VCP), a device that bypasses the eye and optic nerve and transmits visual information from the camera directly to the visual cortex. VCP stimulates the visual cortex with a weak flash of electricity called phosphorescence. Thanks to retinocortical mapping, a series of electrode arrays are implanted at different locations...
