DESCRIPTION:Neurological conditions affect one in six people\, imposing si
 gnificant health\, economic and societal burden. Bioelectronic medicine ai
 ms to restore or replace neurological function with the help of implantabl
 e electronic devices. Unfortunately\, significant technological limitation
 s prohibit these devices from reaching patients at scale\, as implants are
  bulky\, require invasive implantation procedures\, elicit a pronounced fo
 reign body response\, and show poor treatment specificity and off-target e
 ffects. Over the past decade\, novel materials and fabrication methods ins
 pired from the microelectronics industry have been shown to overcome these
  limitations. Recent literature provides powerful demonstrations of thin f
 ilm implants that are miniaturised\, ultra-conformal\, stretchable\, multi
 plexed\, integrated with different sensors and actuators\, bioresorbable\,
  and minimally invasive. This talk discuss the state-of-the-art of these n
 ew technologies and the barriers than need to be overcome to reach patient
 s at scale.\n\nMore details "here":https://www.csar.org.uk/lectures/2024-2
