A Cornell-led team created a tiny, wireless brain implant that transmits neural data for over a year in animals, with potential human use pending further study.
A Cornell-led team has developed a neural implant smaller than a grain of salt—about 300 microns long—that can wirelessly transmit brain activity data for over a year in animals.
The device, called MOTE, uses wireless energy transfer, reduces tissue irritation, and captures neural signals faster than traditional methods without genetic modification.
It may function during MRI scans and could be adapted for spinal cord or other tissue use.
Still in early testing, the implant is not yet approved for humans and remains under study in lab and animal trials.
