High density full diamond cortical implant for long life time implantation
Implantable neuroprosthetic devices offer the promise of restoring neurological functions to disabled individuals. Tests demonstrated that an array of microelectrodes implanted in cortex allows to record activity of the brain and to induce a movement on prosthetic limbs or electrical stimulations restore some visual sensations. For these applications the life time and stability of the electrodes are critical features for the reliable operation of any implantable neuronal device. It’s also necessary to have high density implant with small electrodes to cover a large surface of the cortex to have access of neuronal code. A reliable packaging for long term implantable devices are in titanium…
