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 considers 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 expands upon and complement the articles in this MRS Bulletin issue with talks from leading experts in the field. An interactive Q&A session follows each of the talks.
