Claims14
1-14. (canceled)
A method of producing a composition of neuronal cells interfaced with an electronic device comprising:
- (a) providing a first isolated neuronal cell interfaced with the electronic device;
- and
- (b) providing a second isolated neuronal cell;
- wherein said first isolated neuronal cell is integrated to the second isolated neuronal cell via elongated axons stretched to greater than 1 cm in length by stretching the axons at a slow stretch rate followed by stretching the axons at a higher stretch rate to obtain axons elongated to greater than 1 cm in length.

- and
- (b) providing a second isolated neuronal cell;
- wherein said first isolated neuronal cell is integrated to the second isolated neuronal cell via elongated axons stretched to greater than 1 cm in length by stretching the axons at a slow stretch rate of about 1 mm/day for about 3 days followed by stretching the axons at a higher stretch rate of about 6 mm/day for a period of time sufficient to obtain axons elongated to greater than 1 cm in length.
