The company\u2019s tech also stands apart. It\u2019s built on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cwonder material\u201d graphene<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphene is an ultra-thin, strong, flexible material that conducts electricity without degrading. It has the potential to be more effective and less invasive than the metals and polymers employed in brain-computer interfaces by companies like Neuralink, Blackrock Neurotech, or Medtronic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<p class=\"ica-text__title\">Open AI, Cherry Ventures Datasnipper, Monzo, bunq &amp; many more confirmed for TNW Conference 2025<\/p>\n<p>Join 1000s of founders, investors and innovation champions in Amsterdam on June 19 &amp; 20.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbrain\u2019s device is made up of tiny graphene electrodes on a film thinner than a human hair. The implant reads electrical signals from the brain and, when necessary, sends electrical pulses back. It\u2019s designed to treat neurological disorders by targeting the root cause: faulty brain signals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inbrain\u2019s first focus is Parkinson\u2019s disease. Its graphene-based implant is designed to detect specific neural signals tied to motor function, then deliver ultra-precise stimulation only when needed. \u201cIt won\u2019t cure the disease, but it will cure the symptoms of it,\u201d said <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aguilar.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_the_lab_to_the_human_brain\"><\/span>From the lab to the human brain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, Inbrain carried out the world\u2019s first in-human trial of its graphene-based implant at the University of Manchester.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgeons temporarily placed the device on a patient\u2019s brain during tumour surgery. In just 79 minutes, it identified healthy and cancerous tissue with micrometre precision. Inbrain now plans to test the device in up to 10 patients to assess graphene\u2019s safety in the brain, as part of the EU\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u20ac1bn<\/span> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/graphene-flagship.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graphene Flagship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, Inbrain aims to begin clinical trials of its therapeutic implant for Parkinson\u2019s disease, said Aguilar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That system will combine two components: a thin, cellophane-like sheet that rests on the brain\u2019s surface to read electrical activity, and a second, deeper implant that delivers highly targeted stimulation to areas controlling movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith artificial intelligence, the device can learn from each patient\u2019s brain to deliver personalised neurological therapy,\u201d Aguilar explained.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that\u2019s just the beginning. Inbrain hopes to use the same closed-loop system to tackle conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, and chronic pain. Ultimately, it could help restore lost functions like speech or movement in patients with neurological damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2020, Inbrain has raised $100mn to date, according to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aguilar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
