Finite element analysis of the effect of probing the brain with a neural probe.

When a neural probe penetrates the brain during brain surgery, the mechanical integrity around the brain region surrounding the puncture is compromised. This project will study the stress and strain distribution in the brain around the probe. 3-D models of the (coated and uncoated) probe, at varying...
