Abstract :
A new cuff configuration for reduction of interfering signals in nerve cuff recordings is introduced. It is based on the traditional tripolar configuration, but has additional end-electrodes which are short circuited and floating. The additional end-electrodes reduced the interfering signal by a factor of 4 to 1, and when platinized by a factor of 13 to 1
