Optoelectronic Biointerfaces: From Random-Access Photostimulation to Neuromodulation

The development of new neural interfaces necessitates innovative materials and advanced device concepts. Our lab has introduced a monolithic system designed for optoelectronic interfaces that effectively interact with neural and cardiac systems. Utilizing semiconductor-enabled biomodulation interfaces, we have enhanced the capabilities of random-access photostimulation. The devices demonstrate significant translational potential for medical applications, ranging from cardiac system modulation to peripheral nerve stimulation. In this talk, I will also introduce a new electrochemical system for neuromodulation. Our lab's future focus will be on refining the performance and reliability of the random access systems. We aim to expand the range of medical applications, improve device efficiency, and ensure seamless integration into clinical practices.
