| Prof Dr | Kateryna | Ostrovska | Ivan Franko National University of Lviv | Ukraine | Neuroscience | U-I characteristics of Si nanowires were investigated. At current exceeding 10 µΑ, voltage oscillations run with frequency of about 1 Hz. The oscillations are very similar by amplitude and frequency to delta rhythms of brain activity. The elaborated delta rhythm generator was applied at EEG spectra measurement for children with ASD. The therapeutic effect of reduction of seizures with use of the generator was obtained. | Best Research Award |
