Dr. Mariska van Steensel from University Medical Center Utrecht shares insights from the INTENSE Project, the first European study using the Brain Interchange™ for BCI-based communication in everyday life. Participants with severe paralysis will learn to control digital devices using brain signals alone — from home. Recruitment is now open in Utrecht: https://neuroprothese.nl/en/intense-en/ + https://neuroprothese.nl/intense/ Watch […]

The recent publication in Nature Scientific Data by the research group around Takufumi Yanagisawa at The University of Osaka Graduate School of Medicine, marks a breakthrough for neurotechnology: long-term, high-quality electrocorticography (ECoG) data recorded wirelessly with CorTec’s fully implantable Brain Interchange ONE system. What makes this achievement so significant? First, the BCI capability of our

University of Washington and CorTec are working together to create new hope for stroke patients.   After two strokes, Matt Kidd’s left side was almost completely paralyzed. Years of therapy brought little progress, until he became part of a clinical trial at the University of Washington (UW).  In this study, researchers are focusing on a

How imec is advancing bioelectronic medicine   The medicine of the future will increasingly rely not just on chemistry, but on precision electronics. Our partner imec is advancing a new, minimally invasive technique for selective stimulation of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). While peripheral nerve stimulation is already an established treatment modality, current methods often

Christine Azevedo Shares Insights from the AI-Hand Project What does it take to restore hand function for people with tetraplegia? The AI-Hand project has been exploring this question for over a decade – and the answers are as complex as they are inspiring. In our latest video, Christine Azevedo from Inria walks us through the

“We are changing the world of sensing”: How TENGABLE aims to give back the sense of touch In a world where touch is often taken for granted, TENGABLE is setting new standards. With its innovative triboelectric nanogenerator technology (TENG), the company is developing a novel implantable device that enables people, who have lost their sense

Closed-Loop Platform for Neurotherapy – NIH-funded Project for Stroke Rehabilitation   The first “brain pacemakers”, developed several decades ago, stimulated a specific area of the brain constantly, regardless of the patient’s condition. The stimulation parameters could only be changed by the attending physician. Because this approach cannot respond quickly to changes in the patient’s condition
