DARPA Electrical Prescriptions Require New Micro Biosensors

DARPA's ElectRx program promotes the development of microscopic in vivo intelligent devices that would sense conditions and stimulate nerve signals to modulate organ function.

ElectRx "would require new technologies for in vivo sensing and neural stimulation, such as advanced biosensors and novel optical, acoustic and electromagnetic devices to achieve precise targeting of bundles of nerve fibers that control specific organ functions." (See more.)
