Show abstract
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) hold exciting therapeutic potential, but tissue damage caused by probe insertion limits channel count. Biohybrid devices, in which the cell-device interface is crafted in the laboratory, hold promise to address this limitation, but these devices have lacked a demonstration of their applicability for BCI. We developed a biohybrid approach to engraft optogenetically-enabled neurons on the cortical surface housed in a 2D-scaffold of circular microwells. The engrafted neurons survived, exhibited spontaneous activity, and integrated with the host brain several weeks after implantation. We then trained mice with biohybrid implants to perform an optical stimulation task and showed that they could effectively report optogenetic stimulation of their neural graft. This demonstration shows that a cortical biohybrid implant can be used to transmit information to the brain of an implanted animal.

"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.
