A growing realization that the next generation of neuromorphic computing must more effectively emulate, not just stimulate, neural functions has led to a surge in research activity to discover and revisit materials systems that efficiently implement various neural functions. The August, 2020 issue of MRS Bulletin will consider multiple avenues by which neural processes have been pursued in the past decades, and future opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the field of organic neuromorphic devices.

This webinar will expand upon and complement the articles in this MRS Bulletin issue with talks from leading experts in the field. An interactive Q&A session will follow each of the talks.

Talk Presentations:

Electrolyte-gated transistors for neuromorphic electronics
Yoeri van de Burgt, Eindhoven University of Technology and Paschalis Gkoupidenis, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research
Organic Semiconductors for Brain-Inspired Computing Towards Biohybrid Synapses
Francesca Santoro, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT)
Neuromorphic-based Boolean and reversible logic circuits from organic electrochemical transistors
Sean E. Shaheen, University of Colorado, Boulder (joined for Q&A by Jake Perez, University of Colorado, Boulder)
