Exciting Milestone!

2 July 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve successfully completed Booster Module B for the AEGEUS Project!
Module B focused on two key pillars of innovation success: 
- Unique Value Proposition (UVP)  
- Key Exploitable Results (KERs)

Over 100 Applications Received!

2 April 2025
We are excited to share that we have received over 100 applications for our search for a doctoral candidate to join our international team at the AEGEUS Project for a 3-year position at the University of Akureyri (UNAK). We are incredibly grateful for this overwhelming response.

We are hiring!

Exciting Opportunity in Northern Iceland! 

Are you passionate about research and eager to work in the stunning landscapes of Northern Iceland? We are looking for a highly committed and enthusiastic doctoral candidate to join our international team at the AEGEUS Project for a 3-year position at the University of Akureyri (UNAK).
 

First ultrasound imaging prototype

5 December 2024
We are excited to show components of our first ultrasound imaging prototype. 
The compact driving hardware is made of four TX/RX boards (128 channels total). The current flexible imaging array consists of 32 customized single element transducers. A configuration detection algorithm autonomously recognizes the shape of the flexible array in the initialization step. Then, the imaging software detects local changes in speed of sound with live updates. 

 

 

AEGEUS Meeting Bremen

30 October 2024
Last week, we had an engaging AEGEUS project meeting in Bremen. This time, we met in Bremen to discuss the next steps towards our combined ultrasound-EEG-device for deep brain stimulation and measurements. We put a focus on transducer positioning and clinical study design and gained valuable insights from the discussion with our Scientific Advisory Board. 
We extend our gratitude to our host and all participants for their constructive participation..

European Researchers’ Night

2 October 2024
We were delighted that our AEGEUS project was part of this year’s European Researchers’ Night in Frascati, organized by Associazione Frascati Scienza. We hope our poster successfully sparked the interest and curiosity of the attendees.
The European Researchers’ Night is the largest science outreach event in Europe. 

News from the ISTU Congress

26 September 2024
News from the ISTU Congress in Taipei:
Last week, our colleague Sven Rothlübbers from Fraunhofer MEVIS attended the Annual Symposium on Therapeutic Ultrasound. He presented his results on “Fourier-based Signal Projection for Global Speed of Sound Autofocusing in Plane-Wave Imaging”. 
It was an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss the latest advancements in the field.
Information about the global speed of sound is essential for planning and monitoring ultrasound therapy, and it will further advance the AEGEUS project.

ISTU Congress in Taipei

9 September 2024
We proudly announce that our project colleague Sven Rothlübbers from Fraunhofer MEVIS will present his results on “Fourier-based Signal Projection for Global Speed of Sound Autofocusing in Plane-Wave Imaging” at the ISTU Congress in Taipei on Sunday, September 22 at 09:34 AM in Session “Treatment Monitoring”. Information about the global speed of sound is a crucial basis for ultrasound therapy planning and monitoring. His work’s objective is to estimate it efficiently which will bring the AEGEUS project one step ahead.

New HRB project group

24 July 2024
We proudly announce that we have successfully participated in Module A of the Horizon Results Booster with our project group CITRUS. The three EIC Pathfinder Projects CITRUS EU-Project, CROSSBRAIN and AEGEUS Project have identified their potential collective results to be disseminated, their characteristics and the target stakeholders.

First tomographic imaging setup

19 June 2024
One of our very first tomographic imaging setups with 32 transducers from Fraunhofer IBMT being tested at Fraunhofer MEVIS’ lab to detect local changes in speed of sound. 
A first step in the AEGEUS project to assess our capabilities of detecting local changes in brain activity.

New project partner

16 May 2024
We are happy to welcome a new project partner in the AEGEUS consortium: 
mediri GmbH recently joined to take over parts of data management, dissemination and exploitation activities.

 

 

 

Face-to-face Meeting

25 March 2024
Many thanks to Steffen Tretbar and his team from Fraunhofer IBMT for hosting our face-to-face meeting within the AEGEUS project.
We could decide upon important next steps towards the first prototype of a combined EEG ultrasound device for the head which aims to improve the understanding of neural activity in the brain.
