"Съвременни технологии в медицината" - семинар "Erasmus+"

На 12.05.2015г. от 14.00 часа в зала 12601
ще се проведе семинар по актуални проблеми на медицинската електроника, при следния дневен ред:

Лекция на тема: “Средства за изследване на неврологични проблеми с използване на силициеви технологии”. Гост-лектор д-р инж. Цено Галчев от Alberts-Ludwigs Universitӓt Freiburg.

Презентации на докторанти и студенти от ФЕТТ на авторски разработки в областта на асистиращите системи за възрастни и хора с увреждания. 

Tzeno Galchev earned his M.S. in 2006 and Ph.D. in 2010 both in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan where he was a James B. Angell Scholar and an invited member of Eta Kappa Nu. Dr. Galchev was the sole recipient of the University of Michigan Excellence in Engineering Fellowship in 2006. In 2011 Dr. Galchev received an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship and moved to the University of Freiburg's Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) in Germany. He was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action in 2013. Dr. Galchev’s research focuses on exploring the nexus between combining ultra-low energy electronic interfaces with highly efficient smart transducers enabled by novel, active, and/or nano-structured materials.
 
Abstract: Understanding how the human brain functions is one of the greatest mysteries and the leading scientific challenge of the 21st century. Gaining a better understanding of its function would allow us not only to treat many neurological disorders but may have technological implications as well, leading to more powerful computing paradigms. The human brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons, each dynamically interconnected with other cells through over 7,000 synaptic junctions. In order to advance understanding of brain function and behavior, it is critical to monitor how neural circuits work together and perform computational processing. For the past few decades, a wide variety of neural probes have been developed to study the electrophysiology of the brain. This talk will first give a historic perspective of this technology and review the achievements to date. Within this context, the talk will describe the work carried out at the University of Freiburg since 2008. I will discuss the design, fabrication, and characterization of a variety of neural probes and assisting technologies for extracellular recording and stimulation. Our most recent achievements in integrating CMOS electronics will also be discussed.
