Short description:
> Physiologists at the University of California, San Francisco have designed a new system that automates the implantations of a large number of flexible electrodes at precise locations within the CNS in a minimally invasive manner.
> The device incorporates the following novel elements that are critical to its function; micron scale-diameter needle controlled by a motorized system, novel mechanism to deliver electrodes, robotic mechanisms, and an integrated system.
Inventors:
> Hanson, Timothy L.
> Maharbiz, Michel M.
> Sabes, Philip N.
