AbstractIn nerve cuff electrode recordings of neural signals, the pick-up of interfering signals can be reduced by choosing appropriate cuff configurations. In the traditionally used tripolar configuration, short circuiting of the end electrodes is expected to reduce the field inside the cuff from interfering signals. A model study suggests that moving the end electrodes toward the center of the cuff reduces the pick-up of interfering signals. In this paper, these properties are studied in more detail using a rabbit model. In addition, a new cuff configuration is suggested, which has an additional set of short circuited end electrodes. The total improvement of signal-to-noise ratio in the new configuration as compared with the traditionally used tripolar configuration was 73% for muscle signals and 127% for the stimulus pulse.
