The Future of Brain-Machine Interfaces

Film taken during a tour at the University of Oregon neuro-engineering research lab run by thin-film implant expert Felix Deku, PhD. Here, he describes what he believes will be the future of many forms of brain-machine interface devices, including deep brain stimulation. 

What he has engineered is a thin-film ultramicroelectrode array microfabricated in a new type of ceramic biomaterial for neural stimulation and recording. Embedded within are 128 bi-directional channels, meaning that every tiny dot you see in the image above can record and stimulate neurons at the targeted area.
