MSCA Doctoral Researcher (Development of 3D-in vitro neuronal system for assessing electric field interference simulation)

Job Description

Project title: Development and demonstration of 3D-in vitro environment for of electric field interference neuronal simulation with self-organized networked electrode array 

Project tasks and objectives:

The BRAINET is an EU Horizon Europe MSCA project where we aim to augment deep brain stimulation with electric field spatio-temporal interference stimulation. We aim to beneficially influence therapeutic regions deep in the brain without requiring deep electrodes. BRAINET sets out to develop skull implantable stimulation hubs forming a communication network for 3D targeting by self-organization, providing semantic information transfer and synchronization, and thus enabling self-adjusting therapeutic stimulation. The stimulation hubs will be powered by novel magneto-electrical transducer stacks, driven by slowly alternating magnetic fields from the outside and will perform adjustable frequency stimulation by novel nano-modified, compliant elect...
