DESCRIPTION:*How electronics can help with neurological disorders.*\n\nOne
  of the most important scientific and technological frontiers of our time 
 is the interfacing of electronics with the human brain. This endeavour pro
 mises to help understand how the brain works and deliver new tools for dia
 gnosis and treatment of pathologies including epilepsy and Parkinson’s d
 isease. Current solutions\, however\, are limited by the materials that ar
 e brought in contact with the tissue and transduce signals across the biot
 ic/abiotic interface. Recent advances in organic electronics have made ava
 ilable materials with a unique combination of attractive properties\, incl
 uding mechanical flexibility\, mixed ionic/electronic conduction\, enhance
 d biocompatibility\, and capability for drug delivery. I will present exam
 ples of novel devices for recording and stimulation of neurons and show th
 at organic electronic materials offer tremendous opportunities to study th
 e brain and treat its pathologies.
