Bioelectronics

Current developments in electronics – with sensors and biological materials – are making it possible to connect electronic devices directly to the human body more closely than ever before. In medicine, these devices make it possible to stimulate nerves or receive neural signals, and the first applications for video games or to promote our performance (human enhancement) are now available. In addition, implanted chips – used solely to store information – can identify individuals, for instance, for access control.
