Abstract :
We overview approaches to and current status of development of device technology for interfacing the brain via implantable microelectronic sensors for neuroengineering applications. A major direction aims to restore movement to disabled persons, whose healthy brain is envisioned to send direct commands e.g. to real or artificial limbs via application specific electronic communication links.
