Core clinical engineering and protocols for Cortical Microelectrode Arrays.
Restoring full motor dexterity and natural conversational speech requires reading from thousands of individual neurons simultaneously across the motor cortex and Broca's area. Traditional multi-electrode arrays (such as the Utah array) are limited to 100 channels and cause localized tissue scarring.
NeuroLinkage utilizes micro-fabricated silicon shanks with sub-micron CMOS switches, packing over 1,000 recording sites along needle-thin probes thinner than a human hair. The ultra-small cross-sectional area slips between cortical microvessels, preserving blood-brain barrier integrity and recording high-fidelity single units for years.
