The "Neuroelectronic Interfaces" (NEI) Group is a Joint Lab with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and IT, RWTH Aachen.

The Group is working on Neuroengineering, neuromorphic biohybrids and, within the ERC project BRAIN-ACT, on next generation of interactive biohybrid platforms.

The research group focuses on the design and engineering of electronic materials and micro-devices that can interface with the brain. Neuroelectronic devices have a variety of potential applications, which include the study and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As such, the work of the chair has a strong interdisciplinary character, applying engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. An important aspect is the study of biomimetic platforms and coatings that optimize the cell-chip coupling, paving the way towards the implementation of in vitro platforms to investigate and characterize neurodegenerative processes involving synaptic plasticity loss.
