Microfluid Implant Method

Caption

Rice University researchers have developed a method using microfluidics to implant conductive, thin, flexible fibers into brain tissue. Implanted wires could help patients with neurological diseases and help scientists explore cognitive processes and develop implants to help people to see, to hear and to control artificial limbs.
