Novel and reference electrode devices. A, B. The novel
laparoscopic device, shown with the recording tip fully deployed
(A) and partially retracted (B). The flexible
recording catheter of the laparoscopic device (diameter 2.2 mm, length 330 mm)
can be readily passed through a 5 mm laparoscopic port. The head consists of 32
recording channels in a spiral arrangement (5 mm spacing) that is positioned
against the serosa for data collection. C, D. Reference flexible
printed circuit board arrays used for device validation. Two configurations were
used: (C) A 32 channel array (4 × 8 electrodes; 4 mm
spacing); and (D) a 128 channel array (16 × 8 electrodes,
5.2 mm spacing).
