Integrated system for multi-channel bioelectronic recording
Abstract
The goal of this equipment acquisition is to provide better support to the research goal of improving intimacy in bioelectronic interfaces. Specifically, the research goal is to investigate if biological signals from cells/tissue can be used to directly drive electronic computation, which is to fundamentally emulate the efficient energy/information flow between sensing and computation in biosystems. To support this research goal, an integrated biosensing system will be assembled. The system will include three key parts: 1) a 64-channel, high-precision voltage recording system which can acquire biological voltage signals from cells or cell-converted electrical energy; 2) an inverted optical microscope which can perform concurrent optical imaging to reveal detailed dynamics at cell-device interface, and 3) a vibration-isolation table hosting the electrical and optical systems to minimize vibrational interference. The research is expected to improve the development of closed-loop bioelectrionic interfaces, which can advance human technologies such as prosthetics and machine interfaces. It may also support development in hybrid bio-bots and living microsystems.
