The graphene chip has excellent electrical conductivity and stability, and can withstand 200 times more charge without causing harmful reactions, making it ideal for both recording and stimulating brain signals, the developers write. The breakthrough could significantly improve treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.
The first human trials will take place at the University of Manchester, where the graphene BCI will aid the precise resection of brain tumours.
