UC San Diego scientists create a groundbreaking neural implant revolutionizing brain activity monitoring
The transparent, flexible polymer strip conforms seamlessly to the brain's surface
High-density graphene electrodes, each 20 micrometers in diameter, provide unprecedented data resolution
The implant captures both surface and deep neural activities, overcoming current technology limitations
Unlike minimally invasive surface arrays, this implant delves beyond the outer brain layers
Traditional needle-based arrays for deep probing often lead to inflammation and scarring—issues overcome by the UC San Diego implant
The innovative design offers a perfect balance, delivering comprehensive brain insights without compromising long-term signal quality
