META-BRAIN | THE PROJECT
META-BRAIN is a Horizon Europe project uniting seven expert partners across nanotechnology, nano and microelectronics, new materials, brain science, clinical expertise, and computation. Its goal is to achieve precise spatio-temporal control of brain activity through the use of remote magnets and/or ultrasound.
To this end, META-BRAIN —MagnetoElectric and Ultrasonic Technology for Advanced BRAIN modulation— will introduce state-of-the-art technological developments centered on two innovative strategies: non-invasive magnetoelectric stimulation utilizing magnetoelectric nanoparticles, and minimally invasive ultrasound stimulation.
META-BRAIN will develop brain stimulation technologies with significant potential to restore physiological brain activity patterns. These innovations hold promise not only for therapeutic applications but also for sensory replacement as a brain interface.
