Fig. 3

a The body surface stimulation component seen from the top. The contact area between the insect body surface and the self-adhesive body surface stimulation film is shown as the stimulation area, the external input position of electrical stimulation. b The process of integrating the body surface stimulation component onto the insect body surface. Some details of the 1–3 process are shown in c. c Schematic image of interfacial film produced by abdominal movement. The top-mounted wiring film takes an outward bend. Panels 1–3 supports (b), 1–3. Photograph of image 2, scale bar, 2 mm. Photograph of image 3, scale bar, 1 mm. d Characteristics of conventional integration methods and this method. Showing the rate of impedance keeping below 1 kΩ for 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 µm-thick wiring films. In each condition, tests were performed three times in three individuals each. The yellow lines represent the standard deviation for each condition.
