Strategic Objectives
• Master the principles of mechanical impedance matching for long-term stability.
• Discover polymer-based substrates that mimic the brain's Young’s modulus.
• Learn strain-relief engineering to eliminate motion-induced tissue damage.
• Explore the frontier of biocompatible electronics for seamless neural integration.
The Core Challenge
Traditional rigid implants fail because they fight the brain’s natural mechanics, leading to scarring and signal loss.
