Neural probes with integrated vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs)

Understanding the working mechanisms in the human brain is a key factor for development of medical implants for treating various diseases. For monitoring brain activity, neural probes are used to record signals from single to multiple neurons. The challenge here is to record these very small signals in the ?V range with a high signal-to-noise ratio over a long period, in particular for chronically implanted microelectrodes.
