CorTec News – June 2015

Our latest news in July:

CorTec at INS World Congress in Montréal +++ Product Preview: Brain Interchange for Research +++

 

12th INS World Congress in Montréal, 06.-11.06.2015

The 12th world congress of the International Neuromodulation Society will be held from June 6th to 11th in Montréal, Canada.

The focus of this year’s INS meeting is on medicine evolving through technology. Especially in the field of Neuromodulation this combination creates new approaches that have a great transformative force on the treatment of a large number of diseases.

CorTec is presenting there our product portfolio for neuroscientific research. Please visit us at booth number 21.

 

Product Preview: Brain Interchange for Research

We provide first insights into our bi-directional implant system for closed-loop interactions with the brain: Brain InterchangeTM that is about to be launched shortly.

A powerful tool for Brain-Machine interactions, the system combines a number of unique features:BIC_ECoG-Cuff_XS

  • Fully implantability (no skin breaches, wireless transfer of power and data)
  • High channel count (32 channels for recoding, out of which 8 can also be used for stimulation)
  • Freely programmable closed-loop applications (control the system with your own computer, using our C++ programming interface)

While the CorTec Brain Interchange platform is being developed with long-term applications in clinical applications in mind, offering novel therapeutic options for neurological and psychiatric diseases, our first product release will be offered for preclinical research.

We are also happy to discuss possible use-cases with you. Please contact us via sales@cortec-neuro.com.
