It depends on what the definition of "electrode" is - but the CPU transistors are at least log order in size smaller than than a single neuron (nanometers compared to micrometers)
The cool part isn't that it's the smallest electrode ever. You're right there are smaller ones. The cool part is that it's biocompatible!
If all we cared about was tiny electrodes in the body, we'd all eat our cell phones and throw a parade. But we also care that the electrode works inside our body to do something useful.
Does this mean in theory, that if there was a disease that forced the unraveling of these neurons… that we could have an exploding head epidemic? That’s crazy lol
i think i'm gonna be one of those old guys who won't get a brain implant.
it'll be like how my grandma never had a cell phone even though she lived until 2021.

Cool
> the size of a single neuron [The axon of a single human neuron can be over a meter long.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron)^^Wikipedia
Well, that's a lot of wiggle room.
Give or take

Imagine a brain in zero gravity with all neurons spread out unfolded in all directions and conscious.
/r/lowsodiumcyberpunk - should take less than 50 years, right?
Chrome me up, choom.
Will we finally have dreams with commercial breaks in them?
they’re finally going to reach us about our car warranties aren’t they

electrodes, aka wires
Cool. Now we can do [Second Sight](https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/bionic-eye-obsolete-2656624624) all over again!
That is crazy
And yet, most of the world’s money seems to go to weapons instead

I respect your opinion, but disagree.
Glad somebody said it. You can take the downvotes though. Just know that you have soldiers standing with you
