How can you send a message with fat
By enabling direct communication between the brain and an external device such as a robotic limb, brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has promising applications in restoring movement and sensation to people living with paralysis, neurological disease or limb loss. However, existing systems may rely on surgical implants and invasive connectors that increase infection risk. The EU-funded B-CRATOS(opens in new window) project offers an alternative that uses the body’s own fat tissue to guide microwave signals to medical devices. The project has now been featured in the CORDIS series of explanatory videos titled ‘Make the connection with EU science’. “Our technology opens the door to a new era of medical device ecosystems, where implants and wearables work together to monitor, treat, and even prevent disease,” explains project coordinator Robin Augustine. “B-CRATOS is more than a BCI, it is a platform that redefines how implants communicate, creating the infrastructure for connected health solutions that will benefit millions.” ‘Make the connection with EU science’ is a series of explanatory videos focusing on the scientific content and exploitation aspects of EU research projects.
