Neural Implant in Korea Remotely Controlled from the United States, Bringing Brain Research into the IoT Era

Figure 2. Configuration and operation of the wireless brain implant. (Left) The electrochemical micropump module, which uses gas pressure generated through electrolysis to expel the drug and returns to its initial state as the gas recombines once the voltage is removed, enabling repeated actuation. (Center) Demonstration of drug ejection confirming normal operation is maintained after repeated multi-dose delivery and module replacement, together with optical stimulation using a micro-scale inorganic light-emitting diode (μ-ILED). (Right) Demonstration of long-range remote control between the United States and Korea via an internet-based control system, and selective, scheduled device control through a web interface.
