This work presents a nanoporous graphene-based thin-film technology engineered to create flexible neural interfaces. Small microelectrodes (25 µm diameter) with low impedance (~25 kΩ) and high charge injection (3–5 mC cm⁻²) were fabricated. In vivo tests in rodents showed high-fidelity recordings and stimulation with low current thresholds (<100 µA) and high selectivity. Chronic implantation studies validated the devices' biocompatibility.
