Histology for Interface Stability over Time (HIST): The purpose of Amendment 01 is to replace the DARPA-BAA-10-32 version dated 3 March 2010 with the version dated 4 March 2010. See full DARPA-BAA-10-32, dated 4 March 2010, attached. Original posting below. DARPA seeks to understand the failure mechanisms for in-vivo neural recording interfaces. This will involve thorough tissue assessment using current and potential materials and designs. Ultimately, DARPA desires to develop predictive models of failure, robust indicators of interface reliability, repeatable insertion methodologies, and high-throughput biological test techniques.
