Neuro-prosthetic implants powered by electrode arrays.(MPMD)
Advanced Materials & Processes, July, 2006
Brushlike arrays of electrodes packaged with application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) are said to be under development for service as electronic implants at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The arrays are being considered especially as neuro-prosthetic devices that might be implanted in brains to detect weak electrical signals generated by neurons.
The basic idea is that the electrodes would pick up signals from neurons and the ASICs would ...
