Chong Xie

Recently, the Xie laboratory has focused on developing a scalable, tissue-integrated electrical neural interface composed of ultraflexible nanoelectrionic threads (NETs), which promotes reliable, glial scar-free integration with the brain tissues and enables reliable chronic recording. The Xie laboratory currently focuses on further development of the ultraflexible NETs for 1) optimized strategy for stable chronic recording in clinical relevant timescales (> 1 year), 2) large-scale, high-density recordings towards complete volumetric acquisition in behaving brains, 3) intracortical microstimulation to extend the current technical limits in spatial resolution and chronic stability, and 4) applications in the peripheral nervous system.
