Benzocyclobutene (BCB) based intracortical neural implant

A novel structure for chronically implantable cortical electrodes using new Benzocyclobutene (BCB) bio-polymer was devised, which provides both flexibility for micro-motion compliance between brain tissues and skull and stiffness for better surgical handling. BCB is very attractive polymer for stabl...

Description
Summary:A novel structure for chronically implantable cortical electrodes using new Benzocyclobutene (BCB) bio-polymer was devised, which provides both flexibility for micro-motion compliance between brain tissues and skull and stiffness for better surgical handling. BCB is very attractive polymer for stable long-term implant function, because it has flexibility, biocompatibility, low moisture uptake (
