Clinical Neurotechnology

The Clinical Neurotechnology Laboratory at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin investigates how neurotechnologies can be used in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Neurotechnologies are technological and computer-assisted tools that analyze brain signals and are capable of modifying them in a targeted manner. These include advanced neuroimaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or magneto- and electroencephalography (M/EEG), non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), such as transcranial electric and magnetic stimulation (tES/TMS), and neuromodulation based on brainstate-dependent sensory feedback.
In its core, the laboratory develops and applies novel brain-computer and machine interfaces (BCI/BMI) translating brain activity into control commands of external devices, and their combination with non-invasive brain stimulation.
