Polysilicon Brain Interface
October 21, 2014 | Terry Sharrer
Neural implants have brought hope to paralyzed people, but hope may out pace reality because of metal materials that interface with brain neurons. To improve the neurological problems implants present, materials scientists at Arizona State University and Sandia National Laboratory have made probes of polysilicon which have good electrical conductivity and long term functionality.
