BrainChip

An interdisciplinary project funded by the Norwegian research council  to develop a wireless device for long-term recordings and manipulations of brain activity in rodents. 

Contact

With a team made of neuroscientists at (UiO) and engineers at Sintef, we aim to develop a miniaturized brain probe with wireless transmission and charging to record brain activity in rodents. We will take advantage of innovations in micro-opto-electronics, chip and wireless technologies that have revolutionized the use of smart phones, to develop fully implantable brain probes that can decode and
manipulate brain activity in real time in rodents.
