Abstract in brief

  • Researchers are developing flexible electrode arrays to interface with peripheral nerves for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders, reducing the need for complex and risky placement surgeries.
  • These new nerve cuffs combine soft robotic actuators and low-impedance microelectrodes, enabling them to conform and actively wrap around fragile nerves with minimal voltage requirements.
  • Tested on rats, these cuffs successfully create a reliable and self-closing connection with the sciatic nerve, paving the way for less invasive methods of monitoring nerve activity and improving bioelectronic interfaces.
