ATLAS Neuroengineering reveals the quest towards fundamental understanding of local and global neuronal networks using smart micro-scale implants that lead to improved diagnostic tools and new therapeutics for brain related diseases and disorders.

ATLAS Neuroengineering is becoming the standard in silicon-based electrophysiology. With our clean-room facility at IMTEK, Freiburg and imec, Leuven, we define the state-of-the-art for in-vivo electrophysiology. We deliver tools and solutions for the preclinical field and explore stepping stones to enter the clinical market.

Our innovative electronic depth control (EDC) probes allow high-density electrode recordings without mechanical electrode adjustment during the experiment. We also produce passive multi-electrode arrays for freely behavioral studies and custom probe designs.

ATLAS Neuroengineering defines the state-of-the-art by active involvement and participation in innovative projects at the national-, European and international level and collaborating with world leading center-of-excellence, industry and hospitals.

ATLAS Neuroengineering provides expert knowledge in silicon-based probe design, micro-technology fabrication, micro-assembly, interconnect and packaging techniques for new and existing data acquisition systems als well as experimental setups, histology and implantation methods. 

ATLAS Neuroengineering has offices in Leuven, Belgium, and in Freiburg, Germany, at the IMTEK campus at the University of Freiburg.

Dr. Arno Aarts, CEO of ATLAS Neuroengineering, investigates the opportunities to exploit microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the electrophysiology field and how to integrate CMOS structures into the probe. Together with Tobias Holzhammer, COO of ATLAS Neuroengineering, they transferred the innovative probe technology (developed within the European FP-6 project, NeuroProbes) into a successful commercial product. ATLAS Neuro continues to participate in several innovative H2020 project proposals.

Dr. Jyh-Jang Sun is our senior neuroscientist which has over 20-years of experience in electrophysiology, programming, coding, and data-analysis.

Dr. Rik van Daal joined the company in 2019 to pursue a PhD, which he completed in 2023. Since then, he has continued working as a senior researcher.

Ivânia Trêpo joined the team in 2021 as a PhD student under the European MSCA-ITN project In2PrimateBrains.

We also have a process engineer in our team who is dealing with all biocompatible packaging and characterisation aspects.
