Optical neurotechnologies use light to interface with neurons and can monitor and manipulate neural activity with high spatial-temporal precision over large cortical extents. While there has been significant progress in miniaturizing microscope for head-mounted configurations, these existing devices are still very bulky and could never be fully implanted. Any viable translation of these technologies to human use will require a much more noninvasive, fully implantable form factor. Here, we leverage advances in microelectronics and heterogeneous optoelectronic packaging to develop a transformative, ultrathin, miniaturized device for bidirectional optical stimulation and recording: the subdural CMOS Optical Probe (SCOPe). By being thin enough to lie entirely within the subdural space of the primate brain, SCOPe defines a path for the eventual human translation of a new generation of brain-machine interfaces based on light.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
