Monolayer, open-mesh, pristine PEDOT:PSS-based conformal brain implants for fully MRI-compatible neural interfaces.

ABSTRACT: Understanding brain function is essential for advancing our comprehension of human cognition, behavior, and neurological disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stands out as a powerful tool for exploring brain function, providing detailed insights into its structure and physiology. Combining MRI technology with electrophysiological recording system can enhance the comprehension of brain functionality through synergistic effects. However, the integration of neural implants with MRI technology presents challenges because of its strong electromagnetic (EM) energy during MRI scans. Therefore, MRI-compatible neural implants should facilitate detailed investigation of neural activities and brain functions in real-time in high resolution, without compromising patient safety and imaging quali
