It is called e-dura which embeds interconnects, electrodes, and chemotrodes that sustain millions of mechanical stretch cycles, electrical stimulation pulses, and chemical injections. The soft implants extracted cortical states in freely behaving animals for brain-machine interface and delivered electrochemical spinal neuromodulation that restored locomotion after paralyzing spinal cord injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/347\/6218\/159\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has always been difficult to use implantable neuroprostheses because the neural tissue being soft and prostheses being hard.
