Workshop on Neuro IC Technology

(Professors Jack Judy and Dejan Markovic, organizers, May 28, 2008)

This one day workshop, sponsored by the Electrical Engineering Department, covers the state-of-the-art of integrated-circuit (IC) technology for multi-channel, wireless, high-performance, and low-power neural-signal recording systems.

The multidisciplinary workshop brings together leaders in the fields of IC design, telemetry systems, neural recording, brain-computer interfaces, neuroscience, neurology, and neurosurgery.

The goals of this intimate but high-caliber workshop are to identify and discuss:

• State-of-the-art implementations of IC neurotechnology and the extent of their scientific/clinical use to date
• Barriers to the wide-spread deployment, acceptance, and use of IC-neurotechnology systems
• Recent IC-design and IC-technology advances that could be leveraged in next-generation IC neurotechnology
