Reverse-engineering the brain demands complex approaches, which require dovetailed cross-disciplinary efforts and convergence research. We believe nanoelectronics can be tailored to uniquely complement many other fields and practices through adding multifunctionality towards achieving convergence while keeping their electronic advantage to scale across spatial and temporal domains. We refer to this multifunctional nanoelectronics as neuroelectronics+.
In this talk, I will introduce the neuroelectronics+ concept. I will also discuss several of my group’s recent examples along this vision embodied in the forms of microscopical, therapeutic, and neuroanatomical neuroelectronics+, all enabled by new concepts in materials science, electrical engineering, and advanced manufacturing. In addition to fundamental merit in engineering innovations, we envision the development and translation of neuroelectronics+, and more broadly, bioelectronics+ will transform both biology and medicine.
