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.

Principal investigators:

  • SINTEF Digital:
    • Enrique Escobedo-Cousin
    • Daniel Nilsen Wright
    • Are Hellelandsvik
  • Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, UiO
    • Torkel Hafting (project manager).
    • Charlotte Boccara
  • Institute of Biosciences, UiO
    • Marianne Fyhn

The research is funded by the Research Council of Norway as Researcher Project for Technological Convergence Related to Enabling Technologies.
