IICT awarded 2M€ for neurotechnology research​

Axis 1: “Viscoelastic coupling” will investigate the mechanical coupling between an implant and the brain tissue and its influence on extracellular matrix remodeling and gliosis. The problem will be systematically addressed starting from simple FEM brain models and only gradually adding anatomical details. Expected results will predict the influence of brain circulation, head rotation, and […]
