This $260,609 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems will support the development of multi-channel, sub-microliter implants for selective neuromodulation at Boise State University from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028. The grant is jointly funded through NSF's Engineering Directorate and Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, both of which aim to advance innovation in engineering research. Under this award, Boise State University will develop a miniaturized neurotechnology interface that can selectively record from and stimulate specific nerve fascicles within larger nerves. This work intends to advance the field of bioelectronic medicine by reducing implant sizes, improving safety and reliability, enhancing wireless transmission efficiencies, and evaluating closed-loop machine learning systems for targeted neuromodulation. Outcomes could help revolutionize non-opioid pain management and provide alternatives to pharmaceuticals for various conditions. Ultimately, this research may significantly benefit patient care through continuous physiological monitoring and automated therapy delivery.
