Tissue-like microelectronics linking humans and machines

【Abstract】

Wearable bioelectronic research has reached a new level for their potential to enable real-time body monitoring towards digital health and AI medicine. The emergence of soft bioelectrochemical technologies has further enabled a seamless interface between research tools and biological tissues, allowing for the collection of high-quality and more informative biochemical signals at their origin, even under prolonged use and arbitrary motions. However, the sensitivity of conventional soft bioelectrochemical sensors shows incapability when used in complicated and noisy wearable scenarios. In this talk, I will introduce materials, devices, and manufacturing of an emerging tissue-like microelectronic technology, tissue-like organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) [1-3]. I will discuss how tissue-like OECTs can enrich the toolbox of current bioelectrochemical sensors and electronics to promote translational biomedical innovations, spanning from smart wearables, medical imaging, brain-inspired computing, to human-machine interfacing.

Soft and flexible bioelectronics for brain-machine interfaces

【ABSTRACT】

Biological organisms often possess remarkable multifunctionality through intricate structures, such as the concurrent shape-morphing and stiffness-variation in octopus. Soft robots, which are inspired by natural creatures, usually require the integration of separate modules to achieve these various functions. As a result, the whole structure is cumbersome and the control system is complex, often involving multiple control loops to finish the required task. In this talk, inspired by the biological creatures in nature, I introduce soft robotic structures that can vary stiffness and change shape simultaneously in a highly-integrated compact body. The robotic structure is enabled by the inversely designed programmable unit cells. After fabrication, the robotic structure is inherently soft and flexible. When actuated by confining pneumatic pressure or tendons, it transitions to its designated shape and becomes stiff concurrently. I demonstrate the versatility of our design through practical applications including a soft amphibious robot that can complete a series of tasks including ground crawling, swimming, narrow channel passing, obstacle overcoming, and load bearing, as well as a drone landing system adaptable to varying loads for protection. I further showcase their potentials in assistive wearable devices. With these examples, we aim to create opportunities for future soft robots that are highly-integrated and mimic multifunctional biological organisms.

通过脑机接口进行大规模脑图谱测绘对于解码神经元活动、解决神经系统疾病以及开发先进的计算机及人工智能至关重要。但是，完善脑机接口技术本身也面临巨大的科学研究和工程技术的挑战。对于生物系统的测量，最基本的需求是在特定的时间、空间和生物体的行为下研究具有特定基因型的细胞和细胞网络的活性。对于大脑系统而言，重要的功能性认知活动的构建和发生往往持续数月甚至数年，并且需要多个不同脑区在三维空间，全脑尺度下协同作用。同时，构建这些认知活动的电化学脉冲动作电位又发生在毫秒量级并且被限定在多达数十亿、多种基因表型、实时变化且只有微纳米尺度的神经元和突触中。因此，最终脑图谱绘制的目标是要以单细胞分辨率、毫秒级时间分辨率和细胞类型特异性同时记录数百万甚至数十亿神经元的活动，覆盖大脑发育、学习和衰老过程中的三维脑组织。在本次报告中，我将首先介绍具有同生物组织力学性能一致的柔性和柔软生物电子器件。这些生物电子器件可以在动物整个成年期内跟踪大脑中同一神经元的电生理活动。我将讨论使用柔软电子材料构建生物电子器件的基本限制，并介绍我们如何克服这些限制的策略，从而实现大规模、长期稳定的柔性脑机接口。接下来，我将介绍如何通过在二维干细胞组织培养中嵌入可拉伸的网状电极阵列，通过二维到三维器官发育重组，实现“赛博生物”的创建。我也将讨论如何利用赛博技术，实现在人体大脑类器官和动物胚胎大脑发育过程中进行连续的三维电生理学研究。然后，我将重点介绍我们当前将三维单细胞空间转录组学、机器学习和电记录相结合的努力，从而实现细胞类型特异性的脑活动图谱。最后，我将展望如何有效地融合柔性生物电子学、空间转录组学与人工智能，以构建全方面的大脑单细胞功能空间图谱以增强未来脑机接口的应用。
