title: Optimizing the diameter of holes for flexible regeneration microelectrode.
abstract: In this study, we suggest a new guideline for regeneration microelectrode to be implanted between the severed stumps of peripheral nerves, the microelectrode designed particularly for connecting the signal line of an artificial hand directly to the nerve system. The nerve regeneration microelectrode is an interface device expected to realize a BMI (brain-machine interface).
