The proposed research program builds on the strengths of the chairholder to expand the application of integrated photonics into the field of neuroscience. The goals of this research are to develop and demonstrate a foundry-manufactured photonic platform for massively parallel, integrated nanophotonic neural probes. The probes will be used for the functional mapping of neuronal connectivity in the cortex, and they can become a new tool in brain activity mapping and optogenetics. The probes overcome the scattering-limited penetration depth of optical imaging techniques and enable an integration density not presently available in commercial opto-electrodes. This multidisciplinary project will involve collaborators in nanomechanics, bioelectronics, neuroscience, and neurosurgery.

拟议的研究计划以主席持有人的优势为基础，以扩大综合光子学在神经科学领域的应用。 这项研究的目标是开发并证明铸造型制造的光子平台，用于大规模平行，综合的纳米光子神经探针。 这些探针将用于皮质中神经元连通性的功能映射，它们可以成为大脑活动映射和光遗传学的新工具。 这些探针克服了光学成像技术的散射限制渗透深度，并在商业光电极中尚未获得积分密度。这个多学科项目将涉及纳米力学，生物电子学，神经科学和神经外科的合作者。
