Epub 2017 Aug 14.<\/p>\n<p>Syringe-injectable mesh electronics represent a new paradigm for brain science and neural prosthetics by virtue of the stable seamless integration of the electronics with neural tissues, a consequence of the macroporous mesh electronics structure with all size features similar to or less than individual neurons and tissue-like flexibility. These same properties, however, make input\/output (I\/O) connection to measurement electronics challenging, and work to-date has required methods that could be difficult to implement by the life sciences community. Here we present a new syringe-injectable mesh electronics design with plug-and-play I\/O interfacing that is rapid, scalable, and user-friendly to nonexperts. The basic design tapers the ultraflexible mesh electronics to a narrow stem that routes all of the device\/electrode interconnects to I\/O pads that are inserted into a standard zero insertion force (ZIF) connector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nano Lett. 2017 Sep 13;17:5836\u20135842. doi: 10.1021\/acs.nanolett.7b03081.
