Abstract:
1. A device for electrical recording and electrical stimulating of neurons which device is a bridging device for restoring transfer of electrical stimuli or for creating an electrical signal connection between a first neuron in the central nervous system (CNS) and a remote second neuron in the CNS, between which interconnectivity has been interrupted by a cavity, the bridging device comprising: a first array of pixels wherein pixels of the array comprise a recording means for electrical recording activity of a first neuron in the CNS and a second array of pixels wherein pixels of the array comprise a stimulation means for electrically stimulating a second neuron in the CNS, characterized in that the recording means and stimulation means are electrically connected such that a relevant recording by said recording means can induce a relevant stimulation by said stimulation means to bridge the gap interrupting the interconnection of electrical signals between the first and the second neuron.
