Polyimide-based multi-channel arrayed electrode for measuring EEG signal on the skull of mouse

In this paper, we have developed 40 channel multiple electrodes mounted on the surface of mouse's skull using polyimide substrate and tested its performance by measuring EEG signals. The recording site of the electrode was electroplated by Pt to enhance both contact impedance and adhesive strength by applying proper current, cleaning surface and removing H

gas bubbles. For in vivo test, the electrode was placed on the skull of F1 mouse and EEG signals were measured. We observed the suitability of electrode for measuring EEG signals from multiple areas on the skull. The spectrum of EEG signal to change was observed by urethane administration.
