Abstract
With the advent of optical methods for stimulation and functional recording of neuronal activity in the brain, there is a growing need for fully flexible, ultracompact photonic devices for light delivery and light collection in brain tissue. In this paper, we will discuss our recent advances in designing a flexible optoelectronic neural implant platform that integrates passive and active optical components with electrical recording functionality. We leverage the exquisite optical and electrical insulation properties Parylene C, a biocompatible and flexible polymer to realize a fully functional optoelectrical neural interface.
