[Figure 2] Neural transmission mechanisms of external stimuli through integrated devices

Caption

The figure above is a schematic diagram of how external stimuli are transmitted to the nerves through the integrated device developed by the researchers. External pressure is transmitted through a crack-based tactile sensor inserted into the artificial skin, and external pressure is converted into an electrical signal through a WPPFM. The electrical signal is transmitted to the nerve along the nerve interfacing electrodes.
