Polymer-CMOS Hybrid Neural Probes for Large-Scale Neuro-Electronic Interfacing

Achieving a stable, long-term connection with millions of neurons within living organisms remains one of the dreams of neuroscience. Silicon shank based probes lead the field in terms of pure channel count. On the other hand, polymer neural probes offer superior biocompatibility, ruggedness and lowe...
