Abstract
A flexible neural electrode array is provided, comprising a layer of metal which is arranged on a first layer of polymeric material and which forms a number of contact pads. The first layer of polymeric material is flexible along a predefined direction, each contact pad of the number of contact pads having a sequence of cuts through the metal, each cut extending in a straight line across the predefined direction. Each cut has an inner end and an outer end, the inner end being within the contact pad, the outer end being at an edge of the contact pad, and each second cut of the sequence of cuts having its outer end at the same edge of the contact pad. A method is further provided for fabricating a flexible neural electrode array.
