3D Pyramid-Shaped Microelectrode Arrays for Brain-Machine Interfaces.

      Аннотация: Neuroprosthetic devices that can record neural activities and stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), called brain-machine interfaces (BMI), offer significant potential to restore various lost neurologic functions. A key element in functions restoration is Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) implanted in neural tissues. MEAs, which act as an interface between bioelectronic devices and neural tissues, play an important role in chronic implants and must be reliable, stable, and efficient for long-term recording and stimulation. Electrochemical properties and biological compatibility of chronic microelectrodes are essential factors that must be taken into account in their design and fabrication.
