This project aims to combine the principles of molecular electronics and neurobiology to create organic conductors with enhanced biocompatibility that enable optical neuromodulation. This project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the properties of materials that promote connectivity with neurons and the ability of new microscopy tools to visualise this bio-interface. The expected outcome of this project includes new high performing materials, measurement tools and fabrication approaches to overcome the key challenges to precision neuromodulation. A significant benefit of the new materials is their printability, providing the opportunity to establish a sovereign capability to manufacture low-cost bioelectronic systems in Australia.

该项目旨在结合分子电子学和神经生物学的原理，创造具有增强生物相容性的有机导体，从而实现光学神经调节。该项目期望产生有关促进神经元连接的材料特性以及新显微镜工具可视化该生物界面的能力的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括新的高性能材料、测量工具和制造方法，以克服精密神经调节的关键挑战。新材料的一个显着优点是其可印刷性，为在澳大利亚建立制造低成本生物电子系统的主权能力提供了机会。
