Dr David Martin, who led the study, said “We got the idea for this project because we were trying to interface rigid organic microelectrodes with the brain, but brains are made out of organic, salty, live materials.
“It wasn’t working well, so we thought there must be a better way.
“We started looking at organic electronic materials like conjugated polymers that were being used in non-biological devices.
“We found a chemically stable example that was sold commercially as an antistatic coating for electronic displays.”
