Neuroscience in non-human primates, as well as neurotherapy in patients, can benefit tremendously from recent developments in engineering flexible interfaces to record neuronal activity. In particular thin-film electrodes offer the potential for electrophysiological recordings over very long periods of time, accessing any part and potentially covering large parts of the brain. I will present some of the work that we have performed, in collaboration with engineers, to develop and use polyimide-based electrodes for recordings from the cortical surface and the cortical neuropil. I will then try to identify those potential future developments that are most urgently needed and those that will enable the largest further steps.
