A neural electrode device manufactured by a micro electromechanical system is in, and has an advantage in that the size is in and . A silicon-based neural electrode company manufactured based on a MEMS1/astride technology at present includes that in the United States. One of silicon substrate two-dimensional nerve electrodes of various lengths is manufactured on the basis of a silicon plane processing technology by a Co. and is. Is in, and is due to the body silicon and the deep etching technique and is in the order of body silicon and deep etching. A signal 100 acquisition channel is made on each of the neural probes, and then has a signal acquisition channel in each of the neural probes. These neural electrodes make a copy of a needle that 10 - 100 μm is 0.5 - 10 mm in a range 100 μm of from unit_@bankunit_@bankunit_@bankunit_@bankunit_@bankunit_@. These neural electrode probes have sufficient mechanical strength to insert in the brain tissue. After electrode implantation, after electrode implantation, due to its own respiratory and heartbeat effects, and heartbeats a is in order to create a micron level of movement between the implant electrode and the brain tissue. At the same time, a slight movement of the implant electrode after the electrode implantation is fixed below the skull and slight movement of the skull and the brain tissue also leads to the movement of the implant electrode. The Young's modulus of the silicon is about ± 170 GPa s.i. and the Young's modulus of the brain tissue is approximately 3 KPa ± a. A great difference in mechanical stiffness between the silicon electrode and the brain after relative movement produces horizontal shear forces in turn causes the brain tissue to be injured and thus causes inflammation reaction. The inflammatory response of this tissue produces a substance which increases the electrical impedance of the electrode and decreases the electrical impedance of the electrode on the electrode. In recent years, such as, is applied to a flexible neural electrode, and has been applied to that of a flexible neural electrode. The mechanical strength of these substances is in relation to that of the brain, and is of. The signal-to-noise ratio of the electrodes may be increased so as to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of electrodes due to minute movement of the electrodes. However, due to the fact that the flexible polymer neural electrode cannot be inserted directly into the brain tissue, such as, is often used for peripheral nerve electrodes. Current research groups develop an auxiliary way to implant flexible electrodes into the brain, and the attachment of soluble sugars with soluble sugars increases its implant strength. However, there are several technical problems such as, for example, the problems such as bio-compatibility and long-term stability, which impedes the application of these methods.
