Fig. 8. Closed-loop control algorithm for autonomous movement and positioning of glass–polysilicon microelectrode inside single neurons.

Fig. 8

a Block diagram of the ON–OFF closed-loop control scheme with two feedback variables—electrical impedance of the tip of the electrode at DC and voltage recorded at tip of the electrode. b Flowchart showing the steps involved in the three modes of the control algorithm: (i) Neuron search mode, (ii) Penetration and/or tuning mode, and (iii) Maintain mode (RP resting potential, AP action potential).
