PMID-19596378 Magnetic insertion system for flexible electrode implantation.
- Probes constructed from a sharp magnetic tip attached to a flexible tether.
- Cite Polikov et al 2005. {781}.
- Re micromotion: (Gilletti and Muthuswamy, 2006 {1102}; Lee et al., 2004; Subbaroyan et al., 2005 {1103}).
- 0.6 mm (600 um!) diameter steel bullet, 4mm long, on the end of 38 gauge magnet wire. Mass 7.2 +- 0.4 mg.
- Peak current 520 A froman 800V, 900uF capacitor which produces a maximum force of 10 N on the electrode, driving it at 126.25 m/s.
- Did manage to get neural data.
- Experimental evidence suggests that macrophages have difficulty adhering to and spreading on polymer fibers ranging between 2.1 and 5.9 um in diameter. PMID-8902241 Bernatchez et al. 1996 and {746}.
- Shot through the dura.
- Also reference magnetic stereotaxis for use in manipulating magnetic 'seeds' through cancers for hyperthremic destruction.
