Modeling Electrical and Molecular Channels in Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis (MGBA)

The direct contact of IoBNT devices with the human body, where the cells naturally communicate and organize into networks, suggests the possibility to exploit these biological communications for the device-to-device interconnection.

A heterogeneous network of electronic and biological devices, communicating through different means, ranging from electromagnetic waves and coupling, electrical and mechanical stimulation, to molecular communication.

We would like to investigate on minimally invasive, heterogeneous, and externally accessible electrical/molecular communication channels to transmit information between the devices, seen in the figure, through the Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis (MGBA).
