Rehabilitation of a discrete motor learning function by a prosthetic chip The ReNaChip project aims to develop a biomimetic, biohybrid model that can demonstrate the recovery of a learning response that is lost with age. The project supports the development of a number of component technologies that will be integrated and clinically implemented. Real-time behavioural recovery will provide a proof-of-concept demonstration for the functional rehabilitation of more complex neuronal systems. For full details of the project see the ReNaChip abstract and for more information contact enquiries@renachip.org. The ReNaChip project is funded by the EC Framework 7 FET Programme in Bio-ICT Convergence.   ReNaChip: Who are we? Each month read a summary of a different ReNaChip partner, their organisation, their research group and their interests.

What else do we do? ReNaChip partners are all active in the European scientific community and engage in many FP6 and FP7 funded projects. In this section we feature one of these projects. Synthetic Forager The single overarching goal of the SF consortium is to identify the neuronal, cognitive and behavioural principles underlying optimal foraging in rodents and to implement these principles in a real-world foraging artefact or the Synthetic Forager (SF.01). . more...
