The MouseFlex electrode created by WVU researchers will advance testing of vagus nerve stimulation, a cutting-edge bioelectronic treatment for conditions that range from epilepsy to arthritis to hypertension. Here Justin Vankirk, a doctoral candidate in mechanical and aerospace engineering, releases microfabricated MouseFlex electrodes from a silicon wafer and solder-integrates leads to the device for electrochemical testing.
