The Utah Array, also known as the Utah Electrode Array, is a type of electrode array that is used for neural recording and stimulation in neuroscience research and clinical applications. It is named after the University of Utah, where it was developed.
The Utah Array is an implantable electrode array that consists of a small grid of silicon-based microelectrodes. The array is typically designed to be surgically implanted into the brain to record or stimulate neural activity with high spatial resolution. It is often used in research studies involving animals or in select human clinical trials.
In research applications, the Utah Array is commonly used for studying neural circuits, investigating the mechanisms of brain function, and developing neural prosthetic devices. It has been employed in areas such as motor control, sensory processing, and cognitive neuroscience. Additionally, it serves as a platform for exploring brain-computer interface technologies and developing interventions for neurological disorders.

A brain-computer interface (BCI), also known as a brain-machine interface (BMI), is a communication pathway that enables direct interaction between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or prosthetic device. It allows individuals to control or communicate with external devices using their brain activity alone, bypassing traditional motor pathways like muscles or nerves.
In the field of neuroscience, electrode arrays are often used to record or stimulate neural activity. They can be implanted in the brain or placed on the surface of the brain to detect and measure the electrical signals generated by neurons. By analyzing these signals, researchers can gain insights into brain function, study neural pathways, or develop new treatments for neurological disorders.

A neural interface, also known as a neural interface system or neural prosthetic, is a technology that facilitates communication or interaction between the nervous system and external devices or computer systems. It enables the bidirectional exchange of information between the brain or nervous system and an artificial device, allowing for control, sensing, or modulation of neural activity.
