Three platforms are managed by CRNL members: (1) Human Intracerebral Signals, (2) Neuro-Immersion and (3) the Blood-brain Interface exploratory platform.

 

LABEX CORTEX

The Labex CORTEX is a “Laboratory of Excellence”, launched in 2012 and granted 11.5 M€ (head 2012-2019: H. Kennedy), renewed for 2020-2025 (head: J.-L.
