The field of neuromorphic electronics is promising for local training and learning in energy restricted environments as well as in bioelectronics. Various neuromorphic devices will be presented that are based on organic-mixed conductors (ionic-electronic), materials that are traditionally used in organic bioelectronics. A prominent example of a device in bioelectronics that exploits mixed conductivity phenomena is the organic electrochemical transistor (OECT). Devices based on OECTs show volatile, non-volatile and tunable dynamics suitable for the emulation of synaptic plasticity functions. Finally, small-scale organic neuromorphic circuits allow for local learning in robotics and the realization of on-chip neuronal dynamics that are biophysically realistic.
