High-density cortical implants for cognitive neuroscience and rehabilitation of speech using brain-computer interfaces. (BrainCom)
Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2021,
The goal of BrainCom is to develop a new generation of neuroprosthetic devices for large-scale and high density recording and stimulation of the human cortex, suitable to explore and repair high-level cognitive functions. Since one of the most invalidating neurospychological conditions is arguably the impossibility to communicate with others, BrainCom primarily focuses on the restoration of speech ...

In the eye of the observer: Visual processing at the heart of the retina (switchBoard)
Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2019,
All visual information is broadcasted by an intra-retinal pathway formed by a group of neurons called bipolar cells. They collect photoreceptor signals in the outer retina and relay the signals to the inner retinal neurons. This transfer of visual information is far from passive: Each of the at least 10 bipolar cell types transforms the photoreceptor signals in a unique and highly specific way. As ...

An integrated pilot line for micro-fabricated medical devices (InForMed)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2018,
The goal of the InForMed project is to establish an integrated pilot line for medical devices. The pilot line includes micro-fabrication, assembly and even the fabrication of smart catheters. The heart of this chain is the micro-fabrication and assembly facility of Philips Innovation Services, which will be qualified for small/medium-scale production of medical devices. The pilot facility will be ...

Micro and Nano Engineered Bi-Directional Carbon Interfaces for Advanced Peripheral Nervous System Prosthetics and Hybrid Bionics (MERIDIAN)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
The main goal of this proposal is to bring novel technology of biocompatible, low bio-fouling, high electrochemical performance carbon nanomaterials to in-vivo preclinical applications and at the same time to use this materials to develop a highly advanced concept of intimate intracellular contact, based on bottom - up technology of, engulfing the micro-electrode by neural cells. Such bionic inter ...

Understanding interactions between cells and nanopatterned surfaces (NanoScale)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,
The study of biological processes occurring at the nanoscale is becoming a new discipline at the border between Physics and Biology with major scientific challenges and new technological applications. In fact, interactions at the nanoscale between cells/neurons and surfaces with specific nanopatterns appear to control several major biological processes, such as cell proliferation and differentiati ...
