This looks like a great option for a 'safer' spinal cord implant!

Published on Jan 8, 2015

EPFL researcher's neural implant can make paralyzed rats walk again. Soft and stretchable, it is the first of its kind that can be implanted directly on the spinal chord, without damaging it. Described in Science, this new generation device called e-Dura combines electrical and chemical stimulation.

Here is a LINK to a presentation given by Gregorie Courtine at the Swiss Neuromodulation meeting explaining the research with electrical stimulation and pharmaceutical modulation called e-DURA. Courtine's presentation runs about 30 minutes and there is also one there with Susan Harkema on the same page.
