Abstract

Studies of electrosensory systems have led to insights into to a number of general issues in biology. However, investigations of these systems have been limited by the inability to precisely control spatial patterns of electrosensory input. In this paper, an electrode array and a system to selectively stimulate spatially restricted regions of an electroreceptor array is presented. The array has 96 channels consisting of chrome/gold electrodes patterned on a flexible parylene-C substrate and encapsulated with another parylene-C layer. The conformability of the electrode array allows for optimal current driving and surface interface conditions. Recordings of neural activity at the first central processing stage in weakly electric mormyrid fish support the potential of this system for high spatial resolution stimulation and mapping of electrosensory systems.
