Moreover, these microprobes can be grown on a semiconductor substrate, as shown on the right. Image courtesy of Makoto Ishida, Toyohashi University of Technology

Nanowerk has reported that AIST and Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan has developed a novel electrode for a peripheral nerve interface. According to Hidekazu Kaneko from the Institute for Human Science and Biomedical Engineering at AIST, the electrode under development is expected to be able to measure the action potentials of individual nerve fibers in a peripheral nerve bundle...
