much more
neural tissue is dedicated to processing foveal signals than to processing peripheral signals.
«Compared to conventional
neural probes, the
much - reduced dimensions of our NET - e probes allow us to implant the devices at previously unattainable high densities without damage to brain
tissue,» Wei tells nanotechweb.org.
