Dependence of acoustophoretic aggregation on the impedance of microchannel's walls
Enhancing motor imagery decoding in brain–computer interfaces using Riemann tangent space mapping and cross frequency co...
Objective: Motor Imagery (MI) is a key paradigm in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) aimed at decoding motor intentions from EEG signals. However, accuracy remains challenging due to data limitations, noise, and non-stationarity. Method: This paper introduces DFBRTS, a novel method leveraging Riemannian geometry and Cross-Frequency Coupling to improv...
A general model for spin coating on a non-axisymmetric curved substrate
We derive a generalised asymptotic model for the flow of a thin fluid film over an arbitrarily parameterised non-axisymmetric curved substrate surface based on the lubrication approximation. In addition to surface tension, gravity and centrifugal force, our model incorporates the effects of the Coriolis force and disjoining pressure, together with ...
Thin-film implants for bioelectronic medicine
Contributions of network structure, chemoarchitecture and diagnostic categories to transitions between cognitive topogra...
Patterns of neural activity underlie human cognition. Transitions between these patterns are orchestrated by the brain’s network architecture. What are the mechanisms linking network structure to cognitively relevant activation patterns? Here we implement principles of network control to investigate how the architecture of the human connectome shap...
NeuroRoots, a bio-inspired, seamless brain machine interface for long-term recording in delicate brain regions.
...
Scalable electronic brain implants with long-term stability and low biological perturbation are crucial technologies for high-quality brain-machine interfaces that can seamlessly access delicate and hard-to-reach regions of the brain. Here, we created "NeuroRoots," a biomimetic multi-channel implant with similar dimensions (7 μm wide and 1.5 μm thi...

Fabrication Strategies for Bioinspired and Functional Lung‐on‐Chips
Publication status: Published / Lung‐on‐chips (LoCs) are advanced microsystems designed to culture pulmonary cells under physiologically relevant conditions, including air–liquid interface, cell stretch, and shear stress. As the most promising preclinical models, the LoCs are aimed to reduce and ultimately replace conventional ineffective a...
A multicellular vessel-on-a-chip model reveals context-dependent roles for platelets in inflammation and inflammatory he...
The immune system identifies and destroys invading pathogens. However, chronic inflammation and excessive tissue damage can result if inflammation is not resolved or if the immune system misidentifies a threat. Therefore, the immune system must be tightly controlled. However, the complex cell-cell and cell-microenvironment interactions that regulat...
Simple dynamic cell culture system reduces recording noise in microelectrode array recordings
Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) have applications in drug discovery, toxicology, and basic research. They measure the electrophysiological response of tissue cultures to quantify changes upon exposure to biochemical stimuli. Unfortunately, manual addition of chemicals introduces significant noise in the recordings. Here, we report a simple-to-...
