electrode array

An electrode array is a collection of small, sensitive metal or plastic wires arranged in a specific pattern that can be placed on or inside the body to detect or stimulate electrical activity. These arrays are used in medical procedures, such as brain or nerve studies, to monitor signals or deliver targeted treatment. The design allows precise recording of electrical impulses from tissues or delivering controlled electrical pulses to activate or modulate biological functions. Think of it as a sophisticated grid of tiny sensors and stimulators that helps doctors understand or influence the body's electrical signals.
