There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to develop a high-density microelectrode array for electrophysilogical recordings, and explore its application in optogenetics and clinical research. A comprehensive survey is conducted on current technologies in neural implants for electrical recording and optogenetics stimulation. We analyze the advantages and disadvantages associated with them and identifies the demand for high-performance neural recording device and the challenges in optical integration. We propose our solution to address the needs in high-density flexible microelectrode array, and simple fabrication of optical integrated flexible device. We also plan to extend the application of polymer-based microelectrode array to clinical research, and develop analytical tool for efficient clinical diagonisis.
