HAPPY EASTER FROM THE CORTEC TEAM!

Easter is just around the corner. Before the CorTec team disappears into a long Easter weekend and the Easter Bunny takes over our cleanroom completely, we prepared some egg-citing recent highlights for you.

 

The Brain Interchange System for Stroke Rehabilitation

We are again featured in the latest edition of Open Access Government  – more specifically our Brain Interchange System and our way to Stroke Rehabilitation.
Our goal is to enhance brain plasticity and promote recovery after stroke. One promising method to achieve the enhancement of plasticity is electrical stimulation of the brain. Fundamental studies support the effectiveness of that approach.  The Brain Interchange System is an innovative medical device developed by CorTec specifically for plasticity enhancement. Our mission is to bring this breakthrough technology to market and offer new hope to stroke patients.

Brain Interchange in Human Application & in Nature Publication!

A groundbreaking study* led by Nuri Firat Ince of the University of Houston and other prominent researchers confirms the effectiveness of CorTec’s wireless Brain Interchange implant system in detecting seizure-related brain activity (HFOs).  Published in a Springer Nature Group Scientific Report, the findings demonstrate the implant’s accuracy on par with conventional clinical equipment.

Using the BIC Evaluation Kit, designed for closed-loop therapy research, the study highlights the potential of CorTec’s technology for advanced neuromodulation applications. We thank the research team for their work, which paves the way for future innovations in epilepsy treatment. CorTec will continue to provide cutting-edge technology to empower other scientific discoveries.
