Recent developments on a novel graphene-based sensing platform, which provides high resolution, real-time measuring of brain activity, could be the gateway to unlocking a superior understanding of the brain. This research, developed in the framework of the EU project BrainCom, coordinated by ICREA Prof. Jose A. Garrido, leader of the ICN2 Advanced Electronic Materials and
The European Commission released a feature story on BrainCom in their latest digital excellence and science infrastructure bulletin, “Shaping Europe’s Digital Future.” The coverage includes excerpts from an interview with Ramón García Cortadella, one of the PhD students participating on the project from AEMD Group at ICN2, and Dr. Blaise Yvert and Dr. Eric Fourneret,
A visit from FETFX Journalists-in-the-Lab in February resulted in a video describing BrainCom that features Christian Schäfer and Ramón García Cortadella, PhD students in the AEMD Group at ICN2. This video was made by Arianna Ricchiuti (Franco Prattico Master Programme in Science Communication, SISSA, Trieste) as part of the iCons Foundation Journalist in the Lab
Heraklion, Crete – BrainCom member Professor George Malliaras (Prince Philip Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge) will be a plenary speaker for 2020 NanoBio Conference. This year, the conference will be held on the 7th-11th of September. Topics: WORKSHOP 1: NANOBIOMATERIALS & NANOMEDICINE WORKSHOP 2: ORGANIC AND PEROVSKITE PHOTOVOLTAICS AND OPTOELECTRONICS WORKSHOP 3:
Geneva, Switzerland – BrainCom members Professor Anne-Lise Giraud and Dr. Pierre Mégevand are set to speak at the 2020 Semaine du Cerveau (International Brain Awareness Week) the evening of Wednesday, 18 March. Their presentation, entitled Réparer le Langage par la Technologie (Repairing Language Through Technology) will explore the current technological advances that make it possible

The Sabadell City Hall organises every year a research and technology area during the city’s annual local festival. It is crowded with organisations sharing innovative projects. The ICN2 was sharing in one of the booths some general concepts about the nanoscale and some highlighted research lines, such as lab-on-a-chip technologies, brain-computer interfaces and superhydrophobic materials.
Researchers in Barcelona have developed a graphene-based brain implant able to record electrical activity in the cortex at extremely low frequencies and over large brain areas, unlocking the wealth of information found below 0.1 Hz. The prototype was developed at the Barcelona Microelectronics Institute (IMB-CNM, CSIC) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2),
In the upcoming week, the BrainCom summer school will take place in “La casa de la convalescència” in Barcelona. Members of all the teams of the consortium will give lectures as well as present their latest results in a poster session.
