The aim of the project is to better help people with brain disorders without interventions such as surgery. Instead, the brain is deeply stimulated and influenced from the outside. The group of scientists behind Advanced Neural Control to Restore Brain Function works with new techniques in which magnetic fields stimulate the nerve cells in the brain.
Outstanding achievements Dutch IT sector
The Computable Awards recognize outstanding achievements in the Dutch IT sector. The initiative by Maastricht University and Radboud University received the award for best healthcare project. A total of 1,400 people voted in this category. The jury and the public each determined half of the winner.
Helping patients even better
Maastricht University and Radboud University have been collaborating in education and research since 2022. This collaboration gave rise to Advanced Neural Control to Restore Brain Function.
Neuroscientist Rainer Goebel from UM is one of the enthusiastic leaders of this project. In an earlier article, Goebel says: "We can already do a lot in the areas of movement, language – think of rehabilitation after a stroke – and vision. But there are also applications for psychiatric and neurological disorders. If we combine all our knowledge and techniques, we can help patients even better. ”
