We present a measurement probe consisting of four platinum electrodes fused into soda-lime glass. The probe is based on a four-terminal sensing technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes and performs more accurate measurements than the simpler and more usual two-terminal sensing technique. The electrodes are aranged within an area of 1 mm2 allowing for local characterization of different brain tissues. The operation of the probe is demonstrated in situ on post mortem porcine brain tissue by measuring the impedance spectra of grey and white matter in a frequency range of 1 kHz < f < 1 MHz. The conductivity and relative permittivity are derived from the impedance spectra using the geometry factor of the probe. The geometry factor is obtained experimentally by measuring the impedances of an electrolytical dilution series with known conductivities. The obtained conductivity of grey matter is in the order of 0.11 S/m and of white matter is in the order of 0.07 S/m over the acquired frequency range.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
