To understand the mechanism underlying the dynamics of the nervous system, it is essential to develop the techniques capable of modulating and recording signals employed by neurons. However, current approaches are limited in terms of effectiveness, non-specificity, and mechanical invasiveness. My talk will introduce various complementary strategies to address the challenges: (1) Flexible and stretchable fiber-based probes for interfacing with the brain and spinal cord; (2) Biocompatible fiber scaffold to help the regeneration of neural tissue; (3) Wireless nanoparticle-based techniques for deep brain stimulation. These technologies enabling the interrogation with neural circuits across their diverse signaling modalities without inducing a foreign-body reaction helps the study of information processing as well as pathologies of the nervous system. |
