Bugging the brain

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 398, issue 6722, 30-30

Abstract: A giant, multilayered carbon nanotube, one micrometre across and coated with slippery graphite fluoride, would be an ideal biological electrode, thinks Daedalus. In the brain, such a microdermic needle could work like a precise electroencephalograph. And a mass of needles distributed through the nervous system, and hooked up to a computer, could be used to create the very first cyborg robot.
