Funded Activity Summary

Carbon Cybernetics: Next generation tools for neuroscience. The scope for technology that communicates directly with the human nervous system, is enormous. For fundamental study, the age of bionics is upon us. Biology has ways of recognising when a foreign body is present, thus implanted devices need to be camouflaged from the body's immune system. Today's bionic devices fail because they are rapidly rejected. We will use the element of biology, carbon, to construct a new class of technology for future implants. Using a combination of permanent diamond and flexible carbon fibres we will create materials that are invisible to the immune system and last for decades. Seamlessly connecting our thoughts and actions with the power of human electronics.
