Neuro-Computation

Neurotechnologies Projects

Contacts: Sergio Martinoia (Senior Collaborator).

Within this research line we investigate the computational capabilities of neuronal networks and we develop biophysical models to describe the experimentally observed neuronal responses.

Neuro-Robotics

Neurotechnologies Projects

Contacts: Sergio Martinoia (Senior collaborator).

The intrinsic dynamical properties expressed by complex neuronal systems, such as learning and memory, are not only the result of bi-directional interactions of the nervous system and the environment (e.g. sensory input / actuator output), but are also the result of the contributions of specialized and coordinated activities of inter-related large neuronal assemblies.

Neuro-Architectures and Culture Environments

Neurotechnologies Projects

Contacts: Luca Berdondini, Axel Blau, Silvia Dante (Team leaders); Sergio Martinoia (Senior collaborator).
To generate architectures of neural ensembles for specific in-vitro experimental models, neuronal networks are designed at cellular or population levels by means of (bio )chemical patterning or confining structures.

Neuro-Electronics

Neurotechnologies Projects

Contacts: Luca Berdondini, Axel Blau, (Team leaders);Sergio Martinoia (Senior collaborator).
Neuro-electronic interfaces enable to listen and talk to neurons based on bio-electrochemical methods. Our goal is to realize and validate neuromorphic hybrids to access both chemical and electrical neuronal signals from synaptic levels up to population levels.

Neuro-Photonics

Neurotechnologies Projects

Contacts: Marco Dal Maschio, Francesco Difato, Diego Ghezzi (Post-docs)
Neuro-photonics encompass all kinds of interactions between light and neural tissue.

Application specific optical methods are developed and optimized for selectively imaging and manipulating neuronal tissue, for characterizing neuronal activity and morphology, and also for quantifying biophysical parameters such as forces involved in cell adhesion and neuronal processes growth.
