Yeah, there's a lot of innovation here. I would say that part of what enabled this was... just the innovations in the wearable. There's a lot of really, really powerful, tiny, low-power microcontrollers, temperature sensors or various different sensors, and power electronics. A lot of innovation really came in.

The charging coil design, how this is packaged, and how do you enable charging such that you don't really exceed that temperature limit, which is not a constraint for other devices out there.

Yeah, so the current instantiation of the device has 64 threads and each thread has 16 electrodes for a total of 1,024 electrodes that are capable of both recording and stimulating. And the thread is basically this polymer insulated wire. The metal conductor is the kind of a tiramisu cake of Thai gold plat Thai. And they're very, very tiny wires, two micron in width.

So two, one millionth of a meter.

Yes, you're not going to be able to see it with naked eyes.

Yes, yes. That's also one element that was incredibly important for us. So each of these threads are, as I mentioned, 16 micron in width, and then they taper to 84 micron. But in thickness, they're less than 5 micron. And in thickness, it's mostly polyimide at the bottom and this metal track, and then another polyimide. So 2 micron of polyimide.

400 nanometer of this metal stack and two micron of polyimide sandwiched together to protect it from the environment that is 37 degrees C bag of salt water.
