Choreographing neural networks: coupling activity dynamics across biomimetic brain interfaces with neuromorphic VLSI

This project lays the theoretical and technological foundation for future biohybrid and brain-machine-interface devices, taking advantage of recent progress in our theoretical understanding of the brain, in-vivo and in-vitro electrophysiology and biomimetic hardware components (neuromorphic VLSI). If successful, the project will seamlessly interface biomimetic hardware devices with neural tissues and moreover will deliver theories and technologies for future artefacts that functionally and physically integrate into operational brain systems.
