Abstract:
Neuroprostheses are technical devices for functionally interfacing parts of the nervous system. Using micromachining technology and flexible materials for substrate and insulation, miniaturized implants have been fabricated that offer new opportunities to assist those suffering from neurological disorders. This article reviews the technology and discusses potential applications.
