Özet

The use of an implanted micromachined silicon sieve electrode array to make long term chronic recordings from the glossopharyngeal nerve is described. The implant consists of an array of small holes in a silicon substrate, four of which are surrounded by electrodes connected with an integrally fabricated ribbon cable to a percutaneous headcap. Using this device we have been able to monitor the integrity of the electrodes from the time of implantation and subsequently to record evoked sensory responses from mechanoreceptors on the tongue.
