Abstract: Multielectrode arrays (MEAs) are electrical devices that transduce (record/deliver) cellular voltage signals. Commercially available MEAs are expensive and here we provide proof of concept for the application of an additive manufacturing approach to prepare inexpensive MEAs and demonstrate their ability to interact with brain tissue ex vivo.
