Neural electrode and method for fabricating the same

摘要

The invention relates to a neural electrode. It relates in particular to such an electrode which is able to withstand high mechanical forces, and to a method of fabrication of the same. The invention discloses an elastic neural electrode, having at least one planar metal layer which comprises conductive material and which is bilaterally covered by an protective elastomer layer, wherein, for reinforcement of the electrode, an additional reinforcement layer comprising reinforcement material is present between the outermost protective elastomer layers.
