Control of neural probe shank flexibility by fluidic pressure in embedded microchannel using PDMS/PI hybrid substrate.

Implantable neural probes are widely used to record and stimulate neural activities. These probes should be stiff enough for insertion. However, it should also be flexible to minimize tissue damage after insertion. Therefore, having dynamic control of the neural probe shank flexibility will be usefu...
