Implantable Multi-Modality Probe for Subdural Simultaneous Measurement of Electrophysiology, Hemodynamics, and Temperature Distribution

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the integration of the multi-channel measurement capabilities of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), electrocorticography (ECoG), and negative temperature coefficient thermistor sensors into a single device compact enough for subdural implantation can provide beneficial information on various aspects of brain cortical activity and prove a powerful medical modality for pre-, intra-, and...
