Maturation

Context

The Neurosnooper project aims to improve the treatment of central nervous system diseases through an innovative brain implant. Current devices have limitations in terms of tissue compatibility and recording duration. Neurosnooper addresses this issue by developing a flexible and thin implant, reducing the immune response and enabling long-term recordings.

Technology

Neurosnooper is a matrix of micro-electrodes capable of recording and stimulating multiple neurons at high frequency. Unlike existing devices, it records more informative action potentials (spikes), while minimizing glial scar formation for stable and durable stimulation. The device is designed to be implanted in deep brain regions.

Advantages

Neurosnooper offers improved tissue compatibility, reducing the immune response and glial scarring. It enables precise high-frequency neural recordings and stimulations, paving the way for innovative digital therapies.

State of progress

With a TRL of 3, Neurosnooper has demonstrated its technical feasibility in the laboratory. The maturation program aims to validate the final design steps, consolidate implantation and recording results, and achieve a proof of concept on a large animal model under pathological conditions.

Applications

Neurosnooper is intended for various clinical applications, including the treatment of brain cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. It aligns with digital health criteria, complementing medical imaging technologies for more precise diagnostics and appropriate responses.
