Basic research in oxide electronics and brain-electronic interfaces
Abstract
Focuses on advancing the theory, materials growth, and characterization of artificially-layered complex oxides with the ultimate goal of discovering emergent phenomena in this material system that may ultimately provide far-reaching opportunities for new technological capabilities, and deciphering the coding of neural systems with the long-term goal of discovering and developing methods for the non-invasive decoding and modulation of neural systems, the sensing and decoding the complex brain signals responsible for specific muscle movements, and ultimately the bridging of the living/nonliving interface in peripheral nerves that may lead to future applications in silent communication and mental control of equipment such as the natural and full control of prosthetic limbs. This research effort is an enhancement of the activities conducted under Electronics and Photonics and emerges as a new research area starting FY12.
