Electrodes implanted in the brain have enormous potential for treating a range of conditions from epilepsy to control of prosthetics for patients with limb loss. Currently, the electrodes used in such system fail rapidly because they are rejected by the body. We aim to use diamond with ultra-fine carbon fibre electrodes to make arrays that are invisible to the human immune system. Such arrays will function for the lifetime of the patient without needing replacement.

植入大脑的电极在治疗从癫痫到控制肢体缺失患者的假肢等一系列疾病方面具有巨大的潜力。目前，此类系统中使用的电极由于被身体排斥而迅速失效。我们的目标是使用金刚石和超细碳纤维电极来制造人类免疫系统不可见的阵列。这样的阵列将在患者的一生中起作用而不需要更换。
