Physics Colloquium: Electronics on the Brain

Wednesday, September 22, 2021 4pm to 5pm

Virtual Event

Dr. George Malliaras (University of Cambridge)

One of the most important scientific and technological frontiers of our time is the interfacing of electronics with the human brain. This endeavor promises to help understand how the brain works and deliver new tools for diagnosis and treatment of pathologies including epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. Current solutions, however, are limited by the materials that are brought in contact with the tissue and transduce signals across the biotic/abiotic interface. Recent advances in electronics have made available materials and devices with a unique combination of attractive properties, including mechanical flexibility, mixed ionic/electronic conduction, enhanced bio-compatibility, integration with microfluidics, and capability for drug delivery. I will present examples of novel devices for recording and stimulation of neurons and show that organic electronic materials offer tremendous opportunities to study the brain and treat its pathologies.
