A flexile circuit sheet 29 comprising a sensor array is mounted on an artificial palate 1 for palatometry. The flexible circuit sheet 29 comprises a connector portion 20 having a plurality of electrical contacts 34, and a sensor array portion 40 having an array of sensor contacts 44. The plurality of electrical contacts 34 is connected to the sensor contacts 44 by conductive tracks 18. The sensor array portion 40 is divided into a plurality of separate elongate lobes 38. A first end of each lobe 38 is attached to the connector portion 20 and a second end 42 of each lobe 38 has a sub-array of the sensor contacts 44 on which sensor components 46 are correspondingly mounted. The sensor components 46 may be conductive dots, or alternatively optical sensors. Two flexible sensor, sheets are mounted on a pseudopalate 1 to create a palatometer. |
