Abstract
Provided herein is a system comprising (1) a microelectrode array (MEA) component comprising an integrated multiplexed (MUX) logic circuit; and (2) a microprocessor, e.g., MOSFET, such as a CMOS, wherein the MEA is in electrical communication with the microprocessor such that signals produced by the microelectrodes are transmitted to the processor through the MUX. The use of a MUX reduces the number of outputs used to communicate signals from multiple microelectrodes to the microprocessor. The two components are removably engageable with each other such that after one or more uses, the engaged MEA can be removed and replaced with a new MEA, without the necessity of disposing the microprocessor.
