Description

We have made great progress in brain implants, but big challenges remain: for example, the information transfer rate is slow, a significant amount of setup time is needed, and wires protrude through the skin. Timothy Constandinou, Reader in Neural Microsystems at Imperial College London, outlines his work to solve these challenges through next-generation implantable technology.
