Abstract

Abstract:

The implantable brain-computer interface electrode is of great significance to the diagnosis, early warning and treatment of neurological diseases and brain science research. This paper reviews and studies the global technological development trend of implantable electrodes from the perspective of patents, and studies the latest technological solutions for the improvement of biocompatibility and signal quality. It also calls on the Chinese government to increase its investment in research and development in the field of implanted electrodes, and strengthen its attention to advanced manufacturing processes and material technologies, so as to accelerate the mature application of implanted electrodes and improve the patent layout.

Key words: brain-computer interface, implantable electrode, patents, biocompatibility, signal quality
