The application of printed circuit board technology for fabrication of multi-channel micro-drives.
A modular multichannel microdrive ('hyperdrive') is described. The microdrive uses printed circuit board technology and flexible fused silica capillaries. The modular design allows for the fabrication of 4-32 independently movable electrodes or 'tetrodes'. The drives are re-usable and re-loading the drive with electrodes is simple.
