According to a recent Interesting Engineering article, Stanford University researchers have developed a micro-endovascular (MEV) probe that records deep brain activity without surgery. Successfully tested in rats, the MEV can navigate tiny blood vessels (under 100 micrometers in diameter) and record neuron activity without causing damage. Existing neural implants are over 50x larger, and require invasive procedures for larger vessels.
