HOUSTON, April 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rice University today announced that Jacob Robinson, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and of bioengineering and founder and chief executive officer of Motif Neurotech, a neurotechnology company developing minimally invasive bioelectronics for mental health formed through the Rice Biotech Launch Pad, published a peer-reviewed study in Science Advances detailing a novel and wireless device - an epidural cortical stimulator known as the Digitally programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), that is capable of receiving enough energy to stimulate human and large-animal brain activity and can deliver bursts of electrical stimulation to the brain through the dura, the tough membrane that covers the brain and the spinal cord. The manuscript entitled "Miniature battery-free epidural cortical stimulators" can be viewed on the Science Advances website.

Key Points: 
  • The manuscript entitled " Miniature battery-free epidural cortical stimulators " can be viewed on the Science Advances website.
