An electronic device implanted directly into the brain can detect stop and even prevent epileptic seizures as demonstrated by researchers. The researchers from the University of Cambridge the École Nationale Superieure des Mines and INSERM in France implanted the device into the brains of mice and when the first signals of a seizure were detected delivered a native brain chemical which stopped the seizure from progressing. The work represents another advance in the development of soft flexible electronics that interface well with human tissue. Professor George Malliaras who led the research said These thin organic films do minimal damage in the
