Un implante de grafeno detecta actividad cerebral a frecuencias extremadamente bajas
Esta nueva tecnología podría facilitar la llegada de una nueva generación de interfaces cerebro-ordenador
Graphene-based implant overcomes technical limitations to record brain activity at extremely low frequencies
This graphene-based implant can record electrical activity in the brain at extremely low frequencies, below 0.1 HZ, and over large areas. The prototype was developed by scientists from the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (IMB-CNM) of the CSIC, the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2, a center of BIST and CSIC), and the CIBER-BBN. Published in Nature Materials, this groundbreaking technology promises to enhance our understanding of the brain and pave the way for the next generation of brain-computer interfaces.
Low cost and easy delamination process to isolate high quality graphene films
Researchers from the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) and the laboratory CIBER- BBN have developed a simple procedure to isolate highly crystalline graphene. The method enables the graphene to be transferred from the silicon carbide substrate, where it has been formed, to any other one, such as a dielectric for electronic device applications.
