Small movements between the brain and the array create stress on tissue differently:
-Outer electrodes: Take the most direct mechanical stress, causing scarring.
-Inner electrodes: Stress on the edges can pinch blood vessels, reducing nutrients to neurons in the center, weakening them over time.

45% of amputations = trauma (many vets).
This reuses FDA-cleared hardware → fast VA rollout.
↓ Falls ($50K each) = taxpayer ROI. UP NExT: Engineer → Test → Translate → Impact.
