The TLC group published the paper “An Implantable System for Neural Communicationand Stimulation: Design and Implementation” on IEEE Communications Magazine's August 2022 Issue.

It is an interdisciplinary work involving different research areas:

#physiology#maxillofacialsurgery

#biomedicalengineering.

 

We propose a bio-compatible and safe implantable system for neural communication and stimulation that is able to restore a facial paralysis due to a nerve lesion. The proposed system design leverages on ultra-low power intra-body communication technologies to forward a signal extracted from a healthy nerve towards the injured contralateral one.
