The research team was led by Professor Kyung-In Jang from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with researchers from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), the Korea Brain Research Institute (KBRI) and the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB). Their implantable neural chip integrates a sensor for detecting the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a light-stimulation component and miniaturized wireless measurement technology.
