Extended Data Fig. 10: Neural stimulation for facial nerve evaluation.

a, Schematic of neural stimulation for facial nerve evaluation. b-c, Schematic and evoked electromyography (EMG) waveforms by stimulating the facial nerves using PEDOT electrodes (b) and commercial metal electrodes (c) at 4 mA. d, Comparison of evoked EMG amplitudes by PEDOT electrodes and conventional metal electrodes at 4 mA (n = 9 nerves, P < 0.001). All error bars denote s.d. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; unpaired, two-tailed student’s t-test was used for d. Schematics in a, b and c were created with BioRender.com.
