Stretchable microelectrode array

Stretchable microelectrode arrays (stretchable MEAs or sMEAs) (also referred to as stretchable multielectrode arrays) are a specialized type of microelectrode array (MEA) with a key advantage; they can be deformed, stretched, bent, and twisted while maintaining electrical functionality whereas standard MEAs break upon mechanical loading. Flexible MEAs…
