Abstract
This paper presents a review of our neural interface research program and provides a brief introduction to the field. We focus on three key areas which aim to minimize encapsulating tissue response to chronic neural interfaces: interface architecture, mechanical stresses, and stem cell-seeded probes. We explore these areas and present our current solutions which have led to the demonstration of cortical control of neuromotor prostheses (NMPs).
