NeuroNexus' probes have the following advantages over conventional microelectrodes:

• One shank, with multiple sites, that is about the size of a conventional wire electrode
• Batch fabricated
• High reproducibility of geometrical shape, electrical properties and mechanical properties
• Easy customization of site placement and substrate shape
• Small size, resulting in minimal displacement of the neural tissue
• High spatial resolution at various depths up to 1cm
• Multiple parallel shanks, providing horizontal spatial sampling
• Independent recording/stimulation among sites
• Higher data output with fewer animals
