Summary
This project is aimed at developing active soft neural probes for high-resolution, high-density interfacing of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The availability of high-resolution PNS interfaces is key to the treatment and management of a number of common medical conditions such as neuropathic and chronic pain, paralysis, major depression, and epilepsy. Two major challenges that hinder progress in this area are: i) Mechanical mismatch between the neural tissue and the conventionally used neural probe materials (e.g. metal wires). ii) The electrode density and spreading is limited by the use of passive linear probes. This project seeks to address both these issues by developing miniaturized inert, ultra-soft (E
