A study published in Nature Nanotechnology shows that flexible brain probes made of graphene micro-transistors can be used to record pathological brain signals associated with epilepsy with excellent fidelity and high spatial resolution. This research was led by the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC), the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and the University College London Queen Square Institute of Neurology (UK).

David Bricio has won the Best Poster Award in the JPhD2021, the 6th Scientific Meeting of PhD Students organized by PhD fellows of the ICMAB, IMB-CNM, ICN2 and the UAB. Marc Navarro, also at the IMB-CNM, won the second prize.

Six projects led by 9 researchers from the IMB-CNM began in September after having obtained aid from the 2020 call for R+D+i Projects corresponding to the State Programs for the Generation of Knowledge and Scientific and Technological Strengthening of the R+D System and R+D+i Oriented to the Challenges of Society, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020.

The seminar "Mental health and well-being in the world of research: risk activity?" It is organized by the European Observatory of Mental Health in Researchers (ReMO), the CSIC and the UAB. Up to 32-42% of people in academia and among graduate students have a psychological problem, according to recent studies.
