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. WizSoft Wizsoft develop software based on mathematical algorithms, mainly for the business sector in the fields of data mining, data auditing, concept based text search engines and knowledge management... more... 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. SkinTreat The SkinTreat project aims to realize the potential of customized treatments for managing skin syndromes. The consortium will develop and validate nano-chemical and bio- technologies to achieve an accurate match between drugs, drug delivery vehicles, skin diseases and sub pathogenic skin conditions per individual. more...
