The use of hemodynamic signals as a surrogate measure of neuronal activity presents a major challenge to any straightforward interpretation of fMRI data. In recognition of this caveat, this study describes a polyimide-based MR-compatible microelectrode array with a MR-compatible headstage preamplifier and demonstrates the feasibility in vivo for recording of BOLD, LFP, MUA, and single-unit activity simultaneously.
