I think there was a paper published a while back, 18 months or so, using a
small plastic plate with fine holes drilled through it - the idea being
that this could be developed further, using a chip and holes small enough
to have individual axons.
I have a copy of the paper somewhere, but I'm going on holidays as of NOW
so it will have to wait a bit.
Maybe someone else knows the paper?
