Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of bioelectronics technology, and more specifically, to an integrated brain-computer interface device and its manufacturing and use methods. Background Art
[0002] Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology demonstrates tremendous potential in treating brain diseases, improving the lives of people with disabilities, and enhancing and expanding brain function. Since the 1990s, research on BCIs has steadily advanced, with significant achievements in recent years. Electrodes are a crucial component of BCIs, and the development of microelectrodes with improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties more closely aligned with tissues is crucial. Furthermore, methods for minimally invasive electrode implantation are being developed to enable long-term, stable, and safe recording and regulation of neuronal activity.
[0003] Traditional brain-computer interface electrodes are generally made of rigid materials such as silicon, stainless steel, gold, and platinum. However, intracranial implantation can cause insertion trauma and chronic foreign body reactions. There are also problems with mechanical mismatch between the microelectrode and the implanted tissue, as well as increased impedance between the microelectrode and tissue interface. This can lead to failure of the brain-computer interface during long-term implantation and may also bring risks such as tissue damage, rejection, and infection. Studies have shown that compared with rigid implant materials, flexible implants exhibit better long-term biocompatibility with biological tissues. Therefore, researchers have tried to make the base material thinner and use spraying methods to make electrodes to reduce damage to biological tissues after electrode implantation. However, this method increases the difficulty of electrode processing and does not fundamentally solve the problem of mechanical mismatch between rigid base materials and biological tissues.

[0045] To more clearly illustrate the present application, the present application is further described below in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings. Similar components in the accompanying drawings are represented by the same reference numerals. Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific description below is illustrative rather than restrictive and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0046] One embodiment of the present application proposes an integrated brain-computer interface device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the integrated brain-computer interface device includes a first flexible substrate 10 , a second flexible substrate 20 and a signal transmission component 30 , wherein the first flexible substrate 10 is bonded to the second flexible substrate 20 .
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a groove structure filled with liquid metal and a vital sign detection element 40 are formed on the surface of the first flexible substrate 10 opposite to the second flexible substrate 20, wherein the groove structure filled with liquid metal constitutes a transfer electrode 100 in the interface transfer area, a wiring in the wiring area, and a detection electrode 102 in the EEG signal detection electrode area.
[0048] It should be noted that the adapter electrodes, detection electrodes and vital sign detection elements are connected through the wiring in the wiring area to realize the detection of EEG signals and vital sign signals, wherein the vital sign detection element is connected to the wiring in the wiring area for transmitting the vital sign signals detected by the vital sign detection element, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detection electrode 102 is exemplary, which is a 6-channel detection, corresponding to 6 different brain areas of a living being, such as the motor area, the sensory area, etc.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate are flexible materials with good biocompatibility, such as silicone rubber, polymer, and polydimethylsiloxane, so as to achieve compatibility between the brain-computer interface device and biological tissue.
[0050] It should be noted that the above-mentioned flexible materials are exemplary, and those skilled in the art can also select other materials as flexible materials, such as Flexdym and Ecoflex, etc., and this application does not limit this.
[0051] By adopting flexible materials, this embodiment can avoid insertion trauma and chronic foreign body reaction caused by traditional brain-computer interface electrodes made of rigid materials such as silicon, stainless steel, gold, and platinum.
[0052] This embodiment provides a fully flexible brain-computer interface device, which uses liquid metal as a conductive microelectrode and uses 3D printing technology to produce a biocompatible and soft human silicone substrate (a first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate) to wrap the liquid metal. The fully flexible brain-computer interface device can match the implanted tissue well, solving the challenges faced by traditional brain-computer interfaces.
[0053] In this embodiment, the liquid metal includes at least one of elemental metal gallium, a gallium-based alloy, and a bismuth-based alloy, or a combination of several thereof. For example, when the liquid metal fluid contains a gallium-based alloy, the gallium-based alloy may be a gallium-indium alloy, a gallium-indium-tin alloy, or a gallium-indium-tin-zinc alloy; when the liquid metal fluid contains a bismuth-based alloy, the bismuth-based alloy may be a bismuth-indium alloy, a bismuth-indium-tin alloy, or a bismuth-indium-tin-zinc alloy.

[0054] Compared with the hard wiring in the prior art, the use of liquid metal as flexible wiring in this embodiment further enhances the compatibility of the integrated brain-computer interface device with biological tissue.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the integrated interface brain-computer device further includes a vital sign detection element accommodating groove formed on a surface of the first flexible substrate opposite to the second flexible substrate, wherein the vital sign detection element 40 is disposed in the accommodating groove.
[0056] In an optional embodiment, when detecting the motion information of a living being, the vital sign detection element 40 is a physiological saline solution and a silicone oil solution filled in the accommodating groove, wherein the silicone oil solution is suspended in the physiological saline solution; the vital sign detection element and a portion of the corresponding wiring are connected to form a capacitor, thereby constituting a motion sensor.

[0061] Because the integrated brain-computer interface device needs to be implanted in the brain for a long time, a protective electrode needs to be placed over the detection electrode 102 to maintain its stability. To this end, a contact electrode 200 is formed in the opening to electrically contact the detection electrode 102. It should be noted that the contact electrode 200 is an inert electrode that is harmless to the living body, such as a platinum electrode.
[0062] The signal transmission component 30 in this embodiment is used to transmit the EEG signal detected by the contact electrode 200 and the vital sign signal detected by the vital sign detection element 40 to the analyzer for analysis via the corresponding wiring in the wiring area and the corresponding adapter electrodes in the interface adapter area.

[0067] In a specific example, Figure 3 As shown, the first end plate is circular, and the first openings are the circular openings described with reference numerals 1-8, which correspond one-to-one to the switching electrodes to be formed.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the second end plate is rectangular, and the second openings are square openings numbered 1'-8', corresponding to the signal input ports of the analyzer. By providing openings on the second end plate corresponding to the signal input ports of the analyzer, the need for adapters between the integrated brain-computer interface device and the analyzer can be reduced.
