    Grain-of-Salt Neural Implant Wirelessly Monitors Brain Activity

    Grain-of-Salt Neural Implant Wirelessly Monitors Brain Activity

    Cornell researchers developed an ultra-miniature neural implant, smaller than a grain of salt, that wirelessly tracks brain activity for over a year. Laser-powered, it offers non-invasive study and future medical uses like MRI compatibility, advancing brain surveillance.

    Advancements in neural implant research enhance durability

    A team of researchers from the Bioelectronics Section led by Dr. Vasiliki (Vasso) Giagka, address this challenge by studying the degradation mechanisms of silicon ICs in the body and by coating them with soft PDMS elastomers to form body-fluid barriers that offer long-term protection to implantable chips.
