  • The image shows a flexible electrode that is connected to a nerve. The nerve is represented as a purple colored tube. The electrode consists of six circular metal parts each equipped with a small tip that goes into the nerve. A metallic conducting track leads to any of these electrode ends. The tracks are embedded in a transparent band.
