| Summary: | Advanced microfabrication processes, biomaterials, and systems technologies are enabling progressively more sophisticated devices to interface with the brain. In particular, microscale implantable neural probe systems have been developed to reliably stimulate and/or record populations of neurons for long periods of time. Our group has developed a silicon-based probe technology is effective for recording neural activity from neuronal populations for sustained time periods. In a recent study in rats, these probes consistently and reliably provided high-quality spike recordings over extended periods of time. These probes are being used to investigate and develop cortical neuroprostheses and brain-machine interface systems. This neural probe technology is currently being extended to include polymer substrates, chemical interfaces for drug delivery, advanced coatings for improved biocompatibility, and integrated electronics for wireless communication to the outside world. |
