Fig. 2: Mechanical and electrical characterization of flexible electrodes.

a Flexible device placed on the surface of a phantom brain made in 0.6% (w/v) agarose in deionized water. b Flexible device sticking to the CAM. c Flexible device bended between two jaws, with a bending radius of 0.2 mm. d Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the flexible interdigitated electrodes in situ over time. DAY 0 to 2: N = 5, DAY 3 and 4: N = 4, DAY 7: N = 2). e Impedance spectroscopy in vitro in PBS, before and after the experiment, and the average impedance in situ. N = 5. Error bars indicate standard deviations. Scale bars: a, b 5 mm, c 1 mm.
