ANALYSIS OF THE MOST PERFORMANCE POLYMER MATERIALS WITH THE QUALIFIED DECISION METHOD FOR NEURAL IMPLANTS

Abstract

Neural Implants are electronic devices that stimulate parts of the nervous system and record the electrical activity of nerve cells by sending electrical shocks to the areas of the brain that have lost their function with the help of a battery-powered technical device placed under the scalp. With the help of these devices, it is tried to be activated by stimulating the nerves that have lost their function due to any illness or accident. Nowadays, neural implants; it is used extensively in the treatment of many diseases such as facial paralysis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric disorders and drug addictions. Researchers are working hard to develop and generalize these devices. In this study, some of the most commonly used polymer materials in the development of neural implant materials are analyzed thermo-mechanically by using qualified decision method. With the multi-criteria analysis, the most performance polymer material for neural implants has been determined
