title: Flexible and self-adaptive neural ribbon with three-dimensional electrodes for sciatic nerve recording.
abstract: Various peripheral nerve interfaces have been developed in the last decades and transferred into neuroscientific researches or clinical applications. In this study, we present a novel flexible neural ribbon electrode that can achieve self-adaption to nerves in various diameters and have three dimensional (3D) contacts. Impedance spectroscopy of the neural ribbon electrode was carried out to determine its electrochemical characteristics during the recording. The recording capability of the neural ribbon on sciatic nerves with different diameter was demonstrated by successful signal acquisitions.
