ECoGElektrodenplatten

ECoGElektrodenplatten refers to a type of electrode array used in electrocorticography (ECoG). Electrocorticography is a method of neurosurgery that records electrical activity from the surface of the brain. ECoG electrodes are typically placed directly on the dura mater or the surface of the cortex. ECoGElektrodenplatten are specifically designed as flat plates embedded with multiple electrodes. These plates allow for simultaneous recording from a large number of points on the brain's surface, providing a high spatial resolution of neural activity.

The design of ECoGElektrodenplatten can vary, but they generally consist of a biocompatible substrate material that holds the conductive electrode contacts. These contacts are made from materials like platinum or iridium, which are chosen for their electrical conductivity and inertness in the biological environment. The plates are flexible enough to conform to the curved surface of the brain. They are used in both clinical settings for pre-surgical mapping of functional brain areas, such as those responsible for speech or motor control, and in research to study brain function. The use of ECoGElektrodenplatten enables neurosurgeons and researchers to gain detailed insights into brain activity patterns.
