Abstract Spinal cord injury affects over 2.5 million people worldwide, yet current neuroprosthetic strategies remain fragmented, addressing motor, sensory, or autonomic function in isolation. Here we show that a single ultrathin circumferential electrode array, conforming to the spinal cord without penetrating neural tissue, can simultaneously decode motor intent, classify sensory inputs, and discriminate visceral sensory inputs.

1 Introduction The term “biohybrid” is often used to describe a wide class of technologies that incorporate some biological component, such as cells or tissue-engineered components.

Abstract Electrocorticography is an established neural interfacing technique wherein an array of electrodes enables large-area recording from the cortical surface. Electrocorticography is commonly used for seizure mapping however the implantation of large-area electrocorticography arrays is a highly invasive procedure, requiring a craniotomy larger than the implant area to place the device.
