DBS innovation: Stimulating individual neurons?

|
This is really quite something to behold: A DBS lead with electrodes small enough to potentially stimulate individual neurons. The genius lies in applying the technology used in semiconductor chip design to create a lead with many tiny electrodes that can then be activated and controlled with an extraordinary level of precision.

Looks like a great buy for one of the major medical device manufacturers.
