Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03070316A2] The invention relates to an arrangement for coupling a living cell, especially a neurone, to an electronic circuit for receiving directly or indirectly electrically active cell signals and/or for electrically stimulating the cell. Said arrangement comprises a passive electronic element (C1, R1) which is connected to a reference potential (M) by means of a connection and is connected to a switched output of an electronic switch (T1) by means of another connection. The input of said switch can be connected to a signal source or a voltage source (point B). An electroconductive contact element (1) can be brought into contact with the cell (2) and is connected between the output of the electrical switch (point P) and the connection of the passive electronic component (C1, R1) which is connected to said output.
