Professor You-Yin Chen's research team has collaborated with FRANZ to develop neuromorphic chips using ceramic 3D printing technology. These chips, made with graphene, are designed to detect neuroelectric signals and neurotransmitter levels, while providing deep brain stimulation for conditions like neurodegenerative diseases. They overcome challenges such as poor signal detection due to surgery-induced inflammation by incorporating anti-inflammatory factors for improved biocompatibility. Applications include precise diagnostics and treatment for diseases like Alzheimer's, combining MRI compatibility with real-time neural monitoring. The technology has been validated in animal studies and is expected to enter clinical use soon.
