This talk covers implanted bidirectional systems combining high-density neuralrecording and precise neuromodulation, key for treating neural diseases and enabling brain-machine interfaces (BMls). High-channel-count microelectrode arrays capture detailed neural activity for applications like epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and motor restoration.
Challenges include handling vast neural data with low noise and power, ensuring electrode stability, and delivering precise stimulation without tissue damage. On-chip edge computing to close the loop is promising but faces miniaturization and thermal hurdles.Advances in microelectronics, materials, and neural engineering including energy-efficient designs and flexible biomaterials are driving progress toward improved neurological therapies and brain-machine interfaces with broad healthcare impact.
