    Inventors: Iian Black, James Abbas, Ranu Jung
  • Flanged self-closing microchannel array
    Patent number: 10286207
    Abstract: Devices and methods for implanting neural interface technology in mammals are provided. A device can include an array of self-closing channels; two flanges that flank the array of channels, the flanges can be used to open the self-closing channels; and a plurality of cuff electrodes disposed at a circumference of each self-closing channel, the plurality of cuff electrodes being optimally disposed to detect a maximum amplitude of an action potential signal.
