The researcher Rosa Villa, Director of the Unit 8 of NANBIOSIS has developed this technology, in collaboration with other groups, within the framework of the project Graphene Flagship, the EU's biggest ever research initiative, in which CIBER-BBN participates.
These devices, that can detect the electrical activity of the brain, are currently being tested in animals by measuring their brain activity using Graphene transitors and could have therapeutic applications, as well as allowing the design of new brain-machine interfaces.
