Abstract:
Recent advances in nerve cuff electrodes, which integrate soft electrochemical actuators and neural microelectrodes, offer a minimally invasive method for peripheral nerve interfacing. Utilizing low-voltage electric actuation, these cuffs encircle peripheral nerves in vivo, providing adaptability for chronic and precise nerve monitoring and modulation.
