Michigan Neural Probe

The Michigan Neural Probe is a tiny, specialized device designed to record and stimulate brain activity, aiding neuroscience research and medical treatments. It consists of extremely small electrodes embedded along a flexible or rigid shaft that can be inserted into brain tissue. These electrodes detect electrical signals produced by neurons, allowing scientists and doctors to understand brain functions or target specific areas for therapy. Developed at the University of Michigan, this probe advances the ability to study neural processes and develop neural interfaces with high precision, potentially improving treatments for neurological conditions.
