A new flexible neural interface to “speak and listen” to the brain
A study led by the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) has developed a neural interface that brings together two graphene-based technologies in a single device, with the potential to improve current approaches to modulating brain activity. Successfully tested in mouse models, this advance could be key to developing future therapies for conditions such as epilepsy and brain damage
