But despite the solutions potential, existing methods are limited by the large size of electrodes and metal corrosion.
The research team claims to have addressed both challenges.
This, in turn, enables higher brain stimulation and creates a more detailed image for the patient.
The level of detail plays a crucial role here.
Thats because the image created with brain signals isnt as clear as someone with full vision would see it.
The implant also uses a special mix of materials to prevent corrosion.
According to the researches this material combination ensures both longevity and functionality.
Preclinical results are promising.
