Stress relaxation tests using a custom designed microindentation device were performed on
ten anatomic regions of fresh porcine brain (postmortem time< 3 h). Using linear viscoelastic …

Though commonly used, metal electrodes are incompatible with brain tissues, often leading
to injury and failure to achieve long-term implantation. Here we report a subdural neural …
