The field of organic neuromorphic electronics has been recently emerged for biology-oriented applications as well as for the implementation of on-chip learning circuitry. 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.
