Call

Tools to measure and stimulate activity in Brain Tissue

Detailed Call Description

Proposals submitted to this call should tackle at least one of the following two challenges:

  • A full device with unique features, e.g. targeting a currently untreated disorder, offering unprecedented miniaturisation, low latency closed-loop monitoring-stimulation feedback (if necessary), ultra-low power consumption, low/moderate invasiveness (e.g. compatible with implantation with endoscopic techniques), high-resolution, sustainable, etc.
  • or

  • New or nascent physical principles or methodologies that could be the basis for future brain sensing and/or stimulation technologies, with clear and quantifiable advantages. Focus is on techniques that can offer unprecedented data on brain function or that allow unprecedented modulation of brain activity for therapeutic purposes or brain-computer interfacing.
  • All proposals must fully justify the clinical need for the targeted development, and structure the work plan accordingly, towards credible future transition to market. Additionally, proposals need to consider the cost-benefit of the targeted technology and demonstrate that the outcome will be acceptable by clinicians and patients.

    The gender dimension in research content should be taken into account, where relevant.
