Patent ID: 8406889

Claim:
A system for at least one of receiving and outputting electrical signals from a biological target using vascular-based probes, said system comprising: a plurality of conducting polymer nanowires, each nanowire having a distal end and a proximal end, and an associated probe portion located at the distal end of each nanowire; the plurality of conducting polymer nanowires being delivered into a vascular territory to be monitored, wherein the distal end of at least one of the plurality of conducting polymer nanowires is selectively deflectable, thereby allowing at least one of controlled receiving of electrical signals from a particular area for analysis, controlled output of electrical signals and controlled guiding of the polymer nanowires introduced directly into and within the vascular area; and; and an electronic interface circuit in electrical communication with the plurality of conducting polymer nanowires, said electronic interface circuit comprising an interface module for interfacing the conducting polymer nanowires with a microwire located in the vicinity of the proximal ends of the conducting polymer nanowires.
