Highlights

A Mechanically Flexible Implantable Neural Interface for Computational Imaging and Optogenetic Stimulation over 5.4mmx5.4mm FoV

First implantable “Miniscope” for optical neural recording and optogenetic stimulation over large cortical areas. This implant has a flexible form-factor using a novel die-thinned CMOS packaging containing all the necessary micro-LEDs and optical filters.
