Acronym: CROSSBRAIN
Start date : 01.11.2022

Neurons communicate and carry out tasks via a complex interaction of signalling mechanisms including electrical, chemical (molecular and ionic) and thermal changes. Their participation in a given task can be measured in part by signals generated during their depolarisation and repolarisation, both individually and as the synchronous activity of many cells (extracellular field potentials). The ambitious EIC-funded CROSSBRAIN project will develop a swarm of wireless, implantable, MRI-compatible microbots that can sense electrical activity at the cellular and circuit levels and modulate electrical stimulation of cells, according to need. This will be accomplished with multimodal actuators supported by extreme edge computing made possible with onboard miniaturised wireless energy harvesting and communication.
