Abstract
Three materials were extensively experimented with throughout the research here: TiN, iridium and iridium oxide (IrOx). The solution used in the experiments to mimic the surrounding tissue in the application is phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Before continuing with the investigation of different electrode materials and their characteristics, the hardware and methods developed and used here are explained briefly.
