Implementation depends on electrode fabrication choices, especially flexible substrates and newer electrode materials. The abstract does not specify particular fabrication platforms or coatings.; requires selection of flexible substrates and new electrode materials to improve flexibility
The abstract does not show that microelectrodes alone solve optical stimulation, magnetic recording, or artifact issues discussed for other probe classes.; the abstract does not specify performance tradeoffs or chronic-use limitations
