Mapping the brain-spinal cord interaction towards understanding and treatment of movement disorders

The Move2Treat project, funded by EIC Pathfinder Open, is at the forefront of groundbreaking research aimed at developing revolutionary technologies. This initiative supports the development of minimally invasive, soft multifunctional neural devices leading to improved mapping of brain and spinal cord neural activity. With a competitive success rate of just 6-7%, Move2Treat exemplifies a high-risk, high-gain endeavor, dedicated to realizing technological advancements that will significantly impact Europe and beyond.
