内容摘要：

Advances in CMOS Technology and Material Science have allowed to create sophisticated bio-inspired sensors and signal processing systems. At the same time, a lot of progress has been made in understanding the human brain and the human sensory system. Major breakthroughs are now possible when these two fields come together. The presentation will give two examples. One is how learning from biology allowed us to create new types of sensors. We will focus on a bio-inspired polarization imager. Another example will illustrate how microelectronics technology can help people with neurological diseases. The talk will describe our recent work on a closed-loop, bi-directional Brian-Machine-Interface (BMI) that potentially can improve quality of life of these patients.
