The Problem

Invasive BCIs, the most accurate type of BCI, are essential for neuroprosthetics because they measure neural signals using electrodes within the skull, enabling superior spatial resolution.

​

However, their insertion requires a craniotomy, an open-skull surgery, which poses the risk of brain damage, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and aphasia.

​

Craniotomies have a 1.2% mortality rate and 8-12% morbidity rate [10], discouraging amputees from seeking neuroprosthetic solutions.

We propose N4NO (Nanocarriers for Neuroprosthetic Optimization), a novel minimally invasive technology that utilizes neural dust encapsulated in polymeric micelles to enhance neuroprosthetic function
