DESCRIPTION:Prof Danijela Gregurec\nNeuromodulation techniques\, such as d
 eep brain stimulation\, have significantly improved motor function restora
 tion in neurological disorders. However\, current approaches often remain 
 invasive and spatially imprecise. In this talk\, I will explore how nanoma
 terials play a pivotal role in unlocking the transformative potential of c
 onverting magnetic fields into diverse neuromodulation mechanisms. Magneti
 c nanomaterials enable wireless\, spatially unrestricted interactions with
  external magnetic fields\, making them highly promising for neuromodulati
 on applications. I will highlight cutting-edge approaches that leverage ma
 gnetic nanomaterials to achieve minimally invasive and neuromodulation\, f
 ocusing on three key modalities: Magnetothermal neuromodulation\, where hy
 steresis-driven heating in high-frequency alternating magnetic fields acti
 vates thermosensory neurons\; Magnetomechanical neuromodulation\, which ut
 ilizes anisotropic magnetite nanomaterials to generate piconewton torques 
 under slow magnetic fields\, selectively activating mechanoreceptors in ne
 ural tissues\; and magnetoelectric neuromodulation\, where core-shell stru
 ctures efficiently convert magnetic fields into electrical potentials\, en
 abling wireless electrical neuromodulation.\nBy integrating magnetically r
 esponsive nanomaterials with scalable and noninvasive electronics\, we can
  unlock truly wireless\, multimodal and bidirectional neural interfaces\, 
 paving the way for next-generation neuromodulation therapies.\n
