Fig. 1: Overview and design of the origami-inspired minimally invasive electrocorticography system.
From: Origami-inspired soft fluidic actuation for minimally invasive large-area electrocorticography
A Illustration of the MI-ECoG concept: (i) A folded ECoG device is implanted onto the cortical surface using a burr-hole craniotomy (ii) Expanded to using fluidic actuation provide large-area cortical sensing. B An overview of the fabricated thin film MI-ECoG device. The dashed line indicates the location of the 2D cross-section shown in Fig. 1D. C An exploded cross-sectional view of the structure of the MI-ECoG device. D A 2D cross-sectional diagram of the MI-ECoG device. E Illustration of the custom implantation tool used to package and insert the MI-ECoG. A cross-sectional illustration (not to scale) from the front of the tool shows the illustration of a folded MI-ECoG device packaged within the custom introduction tool.
