Invasive brain–machine interfaces can restore motor, sensory and cognitive functions.
However, their clinical adoption has been hindered by the surgical risk of implantation and …

Implantable electrodes that can reliably measure brain activity and deliver an electrical
stimulus to a target tissue are increasingly employed to treat various neurological diseases …

This study reports the realization of an optical cochlear implant (oCI) with optimized
thermomechanical properties for optogenetic experiments. The oCI probe comprises 144 …

We present a new class of carbon-based neural probes that consist of homogeneous glassy
carbon (GC) microelectrodes, interconnects and bump pads. These electrodes have purely …

Objective. Drug resistant focal epilepsy can be treated by resecting the epileptic focus
requiring a precise focus localisation using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) probes …

Objective. This work deals with studying and improving the insulation lifetime of polyimide-
insulated thin film neural implants, or related polyimide-based medical implants. Approach …

Thin‐film neural devices are an appealing alternative to traditional implants, although their
chronic stability remains matter of investigation. In this study, a chronically stable class of …

Thin-film electrode arrays for neural implants are necessary when large integration densities
of stimulating or recording channels are required. However, delamination of the metallic …

Strong permanent adhesion between thin-film polyimide (BPDA-PPD) and silicone rubber
(MED-1000) was achieved through deposition of a chemically-transitive intermediate …

Delamination of thin film polymeric coatings from metallization layers is a common cause of
failure in biomedical implants. To address the problem, different adhesion promotion …
