MITICS

MITICS - Mixed Ionic and electronic Transport In Conjugated polymers for bioelectronicS

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable the brain to communicate with an external device and vice versa. Some do one or the other, and some do both. In medicine, they are helping people with impaired neuromuscular function to get their limbs moving. They can also help people to use systems other than their own natural ones, or eventually perhaps help us to pay better attention at work or stop depressive thoughts. The EU-funded MITICS project will develop innovative organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) for healthcare applications. By reducing signal loss and promoting efficient long-range electron movement, scientists will maximize responses to very small signals and foster less invasive BCIs.
