The Neurophotonics research team develops optoelectronic devices to interface with neural systems in an effort to understand aspects of neural processing. We collaborate closely with leading neuroscientists and develop high-end technology using advanced semiconductor processing techniques.鈥�
Current research focuses on the following:鈥�
- 鈥婽echnologies for optogenetic control of neural circuits to further our understanding of brain function (see the EU-funded consortium) and 鈥�
- Optoelectronic devices that function as prosthetic devices to restore lost function 鈥� for example, our work on and our involvement in the EU-funded聽 辫谤辞箩别肠迟.鈥�
The research is underpinned by a 10-year, 拢2.8M award from the Royal Academy of Engineering through their .鈥�
We have a close collaboration with 鈥檚 neuroscience team, where together we have formed an emerging neurotechnology effort at Strathclyde, that brings together physicists, engineers and neuroscientists to develop new technologies aimed at furthering our understanding of the brain.鈥�
