COSMIIC is establishing an open source ecosystem of users and resources surrounding a unique active implantable device ready for use in fundamental neuroscience, animal, and early feasibility human research.

The COSMIIC System is based on the Networked Neuroprosthetic (NNP) System, which was invented at Case Western Reserve University. COSMIIC is currently an NIH SPARC-funded project to open access to this device for the entire field of neuromodulation R&D and will eventually transition into a distributed, collaborative community. Our open source concept includes all aspects of the implantable system that are necessary for pre-clinical and human use—hardware, software, mechanical components, test documents, and regulatory documents—with the hope that access leads to more human therapies.

• Repositories are named in a convention that maps to the page structure of docs.cosmiic.org

  • Naming Convention: SidebarCategory-ComponentCode-FilesType-OptionalModifier

    • Examples: Implantables-PG4-App holds the PG4 module firmware application source files. Externals-WL-App-Animal has a modifier to denote a fork and its purpose.

  • Repositories that are not associated with a physical component or do not contain design files are named descriptively.

    • Examples: Resources-Regulatory-IDE holds a set of regulatory information and COSMIIC-Documentation holds the source to build docs.cosmiic.org.
