One of the example of microimplantable electrode array is the Utah array.
Individually adjusting multi electrode arrays is a very tedious and time consuming process.
The surgeon creates a hole to the inner ear where he/she inserts an electrode array into the cochlea.
An electrode array is a configuration of electrodes used for measuring either an electric current or voltage.
The electrode array, which contained around a hundred electrodes, was placed in the median nerve.
In many situations it is desired to measure resistivity of a bulk material by applying an electrode array at the surface.
Long-term research has shown that mechanical flexibility of the electrode array is one of the key factors for preserving residual hearing.
The shorter electrode array does not need to be threaded through the entire cochlea, which minimizes damage.
The electrode array is then passed into the cochlea (inner ear).
Current electrode arrays, he said, can be jarred out of place and lose the signal.
