1. A neural probe system comprising:
- a carrier;
at least one planar microelectrode attached to the carrier, the planar microelectrode comprising a set of two or more conductive segments, wherein the set of two or more conductive segments is confined in an area of from 15 μ
m2 to 8000 μ
m2, andelectrical connections configured such that each conductive segment is individually addressable and such that each conductive segment can be switched to the same output/input line or to different output/input lines to, thereby allowing the two or more conductive segments to be used in a signal recording mode or alternatively for differential stimulation.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a neural probe system comprising: a carrier, at least one planar microelectrode attached to the carrier, the planar microelectrode comprising a set of two or more conductive segments, the set being confined in an area of from 15 μm2 to 8000 μm2, and electrical connections assuring that at least two sub-sets of conductive segments within the set are individually switchable to a same input and/or output line so that the surface area and/or the shape of the microelectrode electrically connected to the line can be varied.
