Science fiction becomes reality. 3D printed microelectrodes could be used to send and receive signals from the brain, aiding in treating Parkinson’s disease, depression, and epilepsy.
A new resin material that can be molded into complex, highly conductive 3-D structures with features just a few microns across has been developed by Tokyo Institute of Technology and C-MET, Inc.
“One of the most promising applications is 3-D microelectrodes that could interface with the brain,” says Yuya Daicho
