One major setback in brain-machine interfaces is the lack of a neural interface system that can be implanted into the body and can last a lifetime (Dongjin, Jose, Jan, Elad, & Maharbiz, 2013). The invention of neural dust, however, allows us to overcome this hurdle by being ultra-miniature and long-lasting by being encapsulated in a non-degradable polymer shield. This means that one sensor (or a group of sensors) can be placed on a tissue or an organ and be used to monitor that part of the body for a very long time (years) without releasing any harmful substances into the body. For neural dust to work, it requires a power source and an effective means of communicating with an external interface
