“Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe” - Prof. M. Kaku. The human brain has up to 80 billion of neurons, which is similar to the number of planets in our Galaxy. It gives us a feeling that we are an independent and unique individual, but we have very little idea how the brain functions. Many neural sensing technologies, mostly imaging, have been developed for scientific or therapeutic purposes. With the advancement in semiconductor technology, silicon-based intra-cortical micro-electrode arrays (MEAs) enable electrical sensing with sub-millisecond temporal resolution and 10’s of µm spatial resolution. They have become the most widely adopted method in neurotherapeutics or neuroscience experiments at the moment. However, there are still many challenges yet to be overcome. For instance, high channel count of neural sensing with high temporal resolution produces a huge amount of data, and they need to be wirelessly transferred across tissues without introducing heating. However, such brain implants should be highly miniature to minimize the surgical invasiveness, so they have very limited resource to support energy-consuming wireless transmission. In this plenary talk, we will discuss how neuromorphic technology inspired from our brains can be a potential solution for future brain-computer interfaces.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
