The year 2019 started with a work in Nature Materials describing how researchers in Barcelona have developed a graphene-based implant able to record electrical activity in the brain at extremely low frequencies and over large areas. This work led by the ICN2 and the IMB-CNM, CSIC was also participated by IDIBAPS, CIBER-BBN and ICFO.
These are some of the most relevant highlights:
- Nanowerk (2 January): Graphene-based implant overcomes technical limitation to record brain activity at extremely low frequencies
- ABC (3 January): Implantes de grafeno para mejorar la epilepsia y el daño cerebral del coma
- El Mundo (3 January) Implantes de grafeno en el cerebro para tratar la epilepsia y los ictus
- Diari de Girona (3 January): Investigadors catalans estudien una tècnica basada en el grafè destinada al cervell
- La Vanguardia (7 January): Un implante de grafeno revela la actividad oculta del cerebro
