Research: The Role of 
Floating Microelectrode 
Arrays
In the dynamic field of neuroscience, technological innovations continually push the 
boundaries of what we can understand about the brain. One such advancement, the 
Floating Microelectrode Array (FMA), represents a significant leap forward in neural 
recording technology. In this blog post, we explore the capabilities of FMAs, their 
applications in research, and how Spike Neuro is pioneering this cutting-edge tool.
Understanding Floating Microelectrode Arrays
Floating Microelectrode Arrays are sophisticated tools designed to capture neural 
activity with unprecedented precision and spatial resolution. These arrays consist of 
multiple microelectrodes arranged on a flexible substrate, allowing them to conform to 
the contours of brain tissue. This design minimizes tissue damage and inflammation 
while maximizing the number of neurons that can be simultaneously recorded from, 
enhancing the fidelity and longevity of neural recordings.
Spike Neuro's Innovative Approach
1. Customization for Diverse Research Needs:
Spike Neuro understands that each research project is unique. Our FMAs are customizable 
in terms of electrode configuration, spacing, and materials used. This customization 
ensures that researchers can tailor the arrays to their specific experimental requirements, 
whether studying neural circuits, brain-computer interfaces, or neurological disorders.
2. Advanced Materials and Biocompatibility:
We prioritize the use of advanced materials in our FMA to ensure optimal biocompatibility 
and long-term performance. These materials not only enhance signal quality but also 
reduce the risk of immune response, critical for maintaining the health of neural tissue 
during prolonged experiments.
3. Integration with Research Platforms:
Our FMAs are designed to seamlessly integrate with a variety of data acquisition systems 
and analysis software. This integration simplifies the research process, enabling 
researchers to focus more on data interpretation and scientific discovery rather than 
technical challenges.
Applications in Neuroscience Research
The versatility of FMAs makes them invaluable across various domains 
of neuroscience research:
Neural Circuit Mapping: Researchers use FMAs to map intricate 
neural circuits, unraveling how different brain regions interact and 
process information during cognitive tasks or sensory perception.
Investigating Neurological Disorders: FMAs facilitate the study of 
neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and 
stroke by monitoring neural activity patterns and evaluating the 
effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
Advancing Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs): FMAs play a crucial 
role in developing BMIs, enabling bidirectional communication between 
the brain and external devices. This technology holds promise for 
enhancing prosthetics, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies.
