Developing friendly-to-life brain-computer interfaces for brain-computer interfacing requires long-term stability and a reduced risk of the body attacking them. The brain's soft tissues are sensitive1 and could respond wrongly to inserted contrivances, ultimately deteriorating signal strength through inflammation, scarring, and eventual signal quality loss. We should find a balance between mechanical adaptability and durability to prevent harm to the tissues while maintaining continuous electric performance. Plus, creating interfaces should accurately and distinctively capture neural signals without disrupting the processes or spoiling the neurons, which is still difficult. It is also hard to get materials because they have to be non-toxic, resistant to wear and tear, and adaptable to the brain's environment. Finally, it is quite complex to incorporate these interfaces with present neural networks to form a continuous two-way communication routine without affecting natural brain operations. This requires advanced engineering and accurate control means.

The development of biocompatible neural interfaces faces four core challenges. First, the foreign body response leads to glial scarring, which insulates the electrode and causes signal degradation over time. Second, a mechanical mismatch exists between rigid, inorganic electronics and soft, dynamic brain tissue, resulting in chronic inflammation and tissue damage from micromotion. Third, the harsh biological environment corrodes metals and degrades insulating materials, limiting the device's functional longevity and leading to failure. Finally, achieving high-bandwidth data transmission from thousands of channels without generating excessive heat or power demands remains a significant engineering hurdle. Ultimately, the goal is to create an interface that is mechanically, chemically, and immunologically invisible to the brain to enable stable, long-term communication.
