Neural Microsystems Platform (NMP)

The Neural Microsystems Platform (NMP) specializes in the development of wearable and implantable neurotechnologies.

The NMP operates from a cleanroom of approximately 120 m² and brings together experts in engineering, life sciences, and medical sciences to design advanced neurotechnological devices.

The platform focuses its efforts on improving the biointegration, bidirectional modalities, and spatiotemporal resolution of these devices, thereby addressing the challenges associated with clinical demonstration and large-scale manufacturing.

The NMP excels in the development of portable and implantable devices offering improved biointegration and excellent performance.

While many innovations target neuroscience research (e.g., conformal epioretinal implants, e-dura, soft ECoGs), few reach medical applications; the NMP fills this gap by supporting clinical demonstration.
