MOTOR-BIC​ - Implantable bidirectional Brain-Computer-Interface for rehabilitation of motor functions

Projektbeschreibung

Brain-Machine-Interfaces (BMI) are supposed to serve avarietyofapplicationssuch as stroke rehabilitation, communication for locked-in patients and treatment of Parkinson’s disease, pain, epilepsy or psychiatric disorders. WithintheMOTOR-BIC project, we push forward the approval of a totally implantable closed-loop Brain-Interchange (BIC)system.Academicandindustrialpartnersjointheirexpertise to develop the first long-termimplantable,wirelessandbidirectionalinterfacesystem that is able to record brain activity with a high signal-to-noise ratio and very good local resolution, process it and translate it into the control- and feedback signals required for BMI-therapies. CorTec is coordinating the project and provides the neurotechnological platform. The Department for Microsystems Engineering at the University of Freiburg enhances the implantable hardware. Design and testing of new highly integrated microchips is carried out by the InstituteofMicroelectronics at the University of Ulm. Clinical studies are carried out at the University Medical Centres in Freiburg and Tuebingen.
