Abstract
This paper describes the fabrication of the tubular guidance channel a nd of a type of microfabricated through-pass hole dice, which together form a prototype neural connector. The final goal is to develop a hyb rid implantable microsystem capable of bidirectionally interfacing the peripheral nervous system to an external device for actuation (artifi cial limb) or for functional neuromuscular stimulation.
