Chinese scientists develop ultra-thin, flexible brain implant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Chinese scientists have developed a novel brain implant electrode array that is exceptionally thin and flexible, mimicking the softness of brain tissue. This advancement addresses a key challenge in brain-computer interfaces by reducing the friction and inflammation typically caused by stiffer implants. In animal trials, the new array demonstrated sustained high-clarity neural activity recording for 18 months without performance degradation. AI

    Chinese scientists create record-smashing brain implant electrode array thinner than hair

    A China-led team of researchers has developed a powerful brain implant electrode array that is as soft as brain tissue, thinner than a strand of hair and more durable than anything before it. In animal trials, a new flexible brain implant recorded neural activity with unprecedent…
