Towards a Microfabricated Flexible Graphene-Based Active Implant for Tissue Monitoring During Optogenetic Spinal Cord Stimulation

This work aims to develop a smart neural interface with transparent electrodes to allow for electrical monitoring of the site of interest during optogenetic stimulation of the spinal cord. In this paper, a microfabrication process for the wafer-level development of such a compact, active, transparent and flexible implant is presented. Graphene...

Towards a flexible brain implant with 10.000 independent channels

Electronic implants are becoming a valuable tool to explore as well as regulate neural activity, potentially overcoming neural disabilities that are not yet curable. For effective exploration and regulation, it has become increasingly necessary to cover larger areas of neural tissue and to interact at a higher resolution by means of electrode...
