Conformal Multimodal Neural Interfaces

Conformal Multimodal Neural Interfaces
Understanding and modulating complex neural dynamics requires technologies capable of interfacing with the nervous system across spatial and temporal scales, while maintaining stable, high-fidelity performance over time. Conventional neural interfaces are often limited by mechanical mismatch, insufficient resolution, and challenges in long-term integration with biological tissue.
In this talk, I will present our recent advances in conformal neuroelectronics—soft, multimodal neural interfaces designed to seamlessly integrate with neural tissue. By combining electronic, optical, and acoustic modalities, these systems enable precise sensing and modulation of neural activity in both in vitro and in vivo settings. I will further discuss our work on medical-grade soft materials and conformal encapsulation strategies that enhance device stability and functionality under chronic conditions. Together, these approaches aim to establish a new generation of biointegrated neurotechnologies with improved performance, scalability, and translational potential.
