Abstract

This article highlights our recent progress in developing carbon nanotube based electrodes for neurochip applications. By integrating carbon nanotube growth with standard micro-fabrication techniques we have realized novel carbon nanotube based micro-electrode arrays for neuronal interfacing and network engineering. The novel electrodes possess a unique set of properties that make them a promising platform for future neuronal interfacing applications. In particular, carbon nanotube electrodes may potentially be used for neuro-prosthetic devices or as novel biosensors.
