In this riveting episode, we invite Dr. Iacopi, a leading figure in neuroscience and material science, to discuss his latest paper on developing and applying epitaxial graphene (EG) for brain-machine interfaces. This revolutionary work, published in the Journal of Neural Engineering, explores how EG grown on silicon carbide can potentially detect Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in a more robust, efficient, and non-invasive manner.

Dr. Iacopi takes us through the advantages of dry EG electrodes, highlighting their superior skin contact impedance compared to traditional dry electrodes. He underscores their ability to maintain performance in highly saline environments, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in EEG technology.

One of the standout features of this conversation is the explanation of the newly discovered phenomenon of  ...
