MAIN GOAL:
to understand , modify and use brain plasticity in order to advance
Neuroscience at the network level and to inspire new computer
architectures.

Scientific background: Bioengineering, Electronics, Informatics,
Neuroscience.
How to reach  the main goal:
 By interfacing in vitro neurons to standard and  microelectronic
transducers capable to monitor and modify the neuron electrophysiological
activity
 By creating hybrid neuro-electronic systems
 By developing neuro-prostheses
 By computer simulating plasticity at the network level
 By developing neuromorphic  silicon neurons
