OPERATING MICRO-WIRE ELECTRODES HAVING DIFFERENT SPATIAL RESOLUTIONS

摘要

A method of operating a micro-wire electrode structure includes using a controller to receive an electrical signal from one or more first electrodes. The first electrodes have visually uniform micro-wires arranged on a surface in a surface area. Each first electrode includes two or more electrically connected micro-wires in the surface area. The controller receives an electrical signal from one or more second electrodes. The second electrodes have visually uniform micro-wires arranged on the surface in the surface area. Each second electrode includes one or more electrically connected micro-wires in the surface area. The second electrodes have a smaller electrode area and a smaller micro-wire area than the first electrodes in the surface area and the first and second electrode areas are visually uniform. A processor detects a low-spatial-resolution signal from the first electrode(s) and detecting a high-spatial-resolution signal from the second electrode(s).
