New Graphene-based , Nano-material has magnetic properties http://www.people.vcu.edu/~qwang/_pdfs/ ... t_news.pdf
So, I've recently seen videos about Elon Musk's Neuro Lace (for the brain) project and did a search for that..

Researchers from the European Graphene Flagship* have developed a new microelectrode array neural probe based on graphene field-effect transistors (FETs) for recording brain activity at high resolution while maintaining excellent signal-to-noise ratio (quality).
The new neural probe could lay the foundation for a future generation of in vivo neural recording implants, for patients with epilepsy, for example, and for disorders that affect brain function and motor control, the researchers suggest. It could possibly play a role in Elon Musk’s just-announced Neuralink “neural lace” research project....
In an experiment with rats, the researchers used the new devices to record brain activity during sleep and in response to visual light stimulation.
The graphene transistor probes showed good spatial discrimination (identifying specific locations) of the brain activity and outperformed state-of-the-art platinum electrode arrays, with higher signal amplification and a better signal-to-noise performance when scaled down to very small sizes.
That means the graphene transistor probes can be more densely packed and at higher resolution, features that are vital for precision mapping of brain activity. And since the probes have transistor amplifiers built in, they remove the need for the separate pre-amplification required with metal electrodes.
Neural probes are placed directly on the surface of the brain, so safety is important. The researchers determined that the flexible graphene-based probes are non-toxic, did not induce any significant inflammation, and are long-lasting....
“Once we have demonstrated the proof of concept in animal studies, the next goal will be to work towards the first human clinical trial with graphene devices during intraoperative mapping of the brain. This means addressing all regulatory issues associated to medical devices such as safety, biocompatibility, etc.”...
* With a budget of €1 billion, the Graphene Flagship consortium consists of more than 150 academic and industrial research groups in 23 countries. Launched in 2013, the goal is to take graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society within 10 years. The research was a collaborative effort involving Flagship partners Technical University of Munich (TU Munich. Germany), Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS, Spain), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC, Spain), The Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN, Spain) and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2, Spain)...

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold promise for the restoration of sensory and motor function and the treatment of neurological disorders, but clinical BMIs have not yet been widely adopted, in part because modest channel counts have limited their potential. In this white paper, we describe Neuralink’s first steps toward a scalable high-bandwidth BMI system.
Graphene Flagship website: https://graphene-flagship.eu/graphene/n ... ene-oxide/The Graphene Flagship is a European Union’ scientific research initiative.[1][citation needed] With a budget of €1 billion, it represents a new form of joint, coordinated research initiative on an unprecedented scale.[2] Through a combined academic-industrial consortium,[3] the research effort covers the entire value chain, from materials production to components and system integration, and targets a number of specific goals that exploit the unique properties of graphene.[4] There are some critics of this and similar initiatives, arguing that excessive funding of graphene-related research and innovation is disproportional to estimates of industrial potential.
History
In 2009, the European Commission identified the need for Europe to address the big scientific and technological challenges of the age through long-term, multidisciplinary R&D efforts. One of the first European Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships, the Graphene Flagship was founded in October 2013. The Graphene Flagship was initially implemented as a Seventh Framework Programme under the auspices of the European Commission's Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG Connect). Now the consortium will fall under FP7's successor research and innovation framework, Horizon 2020. The second FET Flagship, The Human Brain Project, is charged with revolutionizing the future of neuroscience. In May 2016 the EC has announced the third FET Flagship, Quantum Technologies Flagship, which will become a key part of the data and computing Infrastructure which underpins the European Cloud Initiative, as part of the Commission's strategy to digitize European industry..
Organisation
The Graphene Flagship is coordinated by Chalmers University of Technology based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Director of the Graphene Flagship is Professor Jari Kinaret, leader of the Condensed Matter Theory group at Chalmers’ Department of Applied Physics.[8] Vice-Director of the Graphene Flagship is Professor Patrik Johansson,[9] research professor at Chalmers University of Technology.[10] The operative management is handled by the Director and a Management Panel which is chaired by the Science and Technology Officer, Prof. Andrea C. Ferrari[8] from the University of Cambridge, and includes the Flagship Director, the Head of Innovation and the five Division Heads. Strategic decisions are taken by the Executive Board which includes the members of the management panel and ten members elected by the General Assembly of all 150 partners.
The Strategic Advisory Council (SAC) consists of world-renowned scientific and industrial experts, including four Nobel laureates. Its key tasks are to advise on strategic research decisions and issues pertaining to handling and protection of intellectual property whilst also facilitating contacts to related national and international research programs and acting as ambassadors for the Graphene Flagship. The Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Council is Professor Sir Andre Geim, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK. The Graphene Flagship is divided into 20 work packages, 15 focusing on specific science and technology topics, and five dedicated to innovation and operational/management functions.[11] The work packages are grouped into six divisions to enhance collaboration and communication. One of the Divisions is housing the partnering projects.
Uh huh...Soothing the symptoms of anxiety with graphene oxide. Graphene oxide inhibits post-traumatic stress disorder.
Researchers from Graphene Flagship partners SISSA in Italy, ICN2 in Spain and the University of Manchester in the UK, in collaboration with the Ribeirão Preto Medical School of the University of São Paulo, have discovered that graphene oxide inhibits anxiety-related behaviours in a model study. They found that injecting graphene oxide into a specific region of the brain silences the neurons responsible for anxious behaviour.
