UofG researchers to power wireless 'microbot' in the brain
Published: 28 February 2023
Prof Hadi Heidari (JWSE) is leading the UK contribution to CROSSBRAIN, led by Tor Vergata Univ of Rome in Italy & funded by the European Innovation Council. The project is setting out to develop tiny injectable robots capable of predicting & mitigating epileptic seizures.Once implanted in the brain, they will be controlled by a small, wearable central control unit capable of monitoring electrical activity to detect the onset of a seizure and modulate its effect through targeted neurostimulation.
