  • Abstract
    The capabilities of wire electrical discharge machining as a method of constructing microelectrode arrays are highlighted, and new assembly procedures based on this technique are presented. Particular attention is paid to the design of the connection between the mechanical array and the front-end electronics, a problem that is common to the construction of all microelectrode array assemblies.
