Develops soft electronics for the treatment of Parkinson's and epilepsy

Klas Tybrandt, Linköping University, wants to insert nanoelectronics into the human brain. 
The electronics should not be hard and rigid like normal electronics, but soft and malleable so that it can be integrated into the brain and nerves without damaging the tissue. The basis of the technology that he and his research group are developing are gold nanowires and the result is small, soft gel-spikes that can be used deep inside the brain to do more precise and gentler so-called deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's and epilepsy.
