Chinese scientists develop ultra-thin, flexible brain implant

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
