Researchers awarded $5 million grant to advance brain implants with graphene electrodes

A team led by researchers at the University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering has been awarded a $5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop next-generation brain implants that can record brain activity with unprecedented resolution and speed across different brain regions. The technology aims to advance neuroscience by providing clearer insights into brain function and overcome key limitations of existing brain-monitoring devices.
