För att studera hur hjärnan fungerar och utveckla nya tekniker för behandling av neurologiska sjukdomar har forskare vid Lunds universitet utvecklat vävnadsvänliga och flexibla mikroelektroder som är ungefär en tiondel så tjocka som ett hårstrå. Nu har tre av doktoranderna i forskargruppen precis disputerat.
