Brain disorders present a significant societal burden, requiring innovative solutions for diagnosis and treatment. Recent advancements in micro-fabrication have enabled the development of flexible devices which can interface directly with the brain and facilitate high-performing Brain-Computer-Interfaces (BCI). This internship focuses on integrating multiplexed stimulation electrodes within a micro-ECoG (μECoG) array, enabling the high-resolution modulation of brain activity. The objectives include the following :
Through these milestones, the student will contribute to a future publication and will gain first hand knowledge in the field of Neurotechnology.
