Abstract
A neural probe deployment system comprising a magnetic probe, a magnetic field generator acting on the magnetic probe, a first guiding tube disposed on a first side of the magnetic field generator, wherein the magnetic probe is loaded inside the first guiding tube, and a second guiding tube disposed on a second side of the magnetic field generator, wherein activation of the magnetic field generator propels the magnetic probe from the first guiding tube through the second guiding tube, thereby deploying the magnetic probe.
