DESCRIPTION:One of the most important scientific and technolog
 ical frontiers of our time is the interfacing of e
 lectronics with the human brain. This endeavour pr
 omises to help understand how the brain works and 
 deliver new tools for diagnosis and treatment of p
 athologies including epilepsy and Parkinson’s dise
 ase. Current solutions\, however\, are limited by 
 the materials that are brought in contact with the
  tissue and transduce signals across the biotic/ab
 iotic interface. Recent advances in electronics ha
 ve made available materials with a unique combinat
 ion of attractive properties\, including mechanica
 l flexibility\, mixed ionic/electronic conduction\
 , enhanced biocompatibility\, and capability for d
 rug delivery. I will present examples of novel dev
 ices for recording and stimulation of neurons and 
 show that organic electronic materials offer treme
 ndous opportunities to study the brain and treat i
 ts pathologies.
