DESCRIPTION:One of the most important scientific and technological frontie
 rs of our time is the interfacing of electronics with living systems. This
  endeavour promises to deliver new tools for diagnosis and treatment of di
 sease. Current solutions\, however\, are limited by the materials that are
  brought in contact with the tissue and transduce signals across the bioti
 c/abiotic interface. Recent advances in electronics have made available ma
 terials with a unique combination of attractive properties\, including mec
 hanical flexibility\, mixed ionic/electronic conduction\, enhanced biocomp
 atibility\, and capacity for drug delivery. I will present examples of nov
 el devices for recording and stimulation of neurons and demonstrate new te
 chnologies that offer tremendous opportunities to study the nervous system
  and treat its pathologies.\n· J. Rogers\, G. Malliaras\, and T. Someya\,
