DESCRIPTION:Prof Yael Hanein\, Tel Aviv University\, Tel Aviv\, IS\nElectr
 oencephalography and surface electromyography are notoriously cumbersome t
 echnologies. A typical setup may involve bulky electrodes\, dandling wires
 \, and a large amplifier unit. The wide adaptation of these technologies i
 n numerous applications has been accordingly fairly limited. Thanks to the
  availability of printed electronics technologies\, it is now possible to 
 dramatically simplify these techniques. Elegant electrode arrays with unpr
 ecedented performances can be readily produced\, eliminating the need to h
 andle multiple electrodes and wires. Specifically\, in this presentation I
  will discuss how printed electronics can improve signal transmission at t
 he electrode-skin interface\, facilitate electrode-skin stability\, and en
 hance user convenience during electrode placement while achieving prolonge
 d use. Customizing electrode array designs and implementing blind source s
 eparation methods\, can also improve recording resolution\, reduce variabi
 lity between individuals and minimizing signal cross-talk between nearby e
 lectrodes. Finally\, I will outline several important applications in the 
 field of neuroscience and how each can benefit from the convergence of ele
 ctrophysiology and printed electronics.\n\nBio\nYael Hanein is a Professor
  of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University.  In the past she condu
 cted research at the Weizmann Institute (MSc and PhD in Physics)\, Princet
 on University (visiting student at the lab of Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. D
 an Tsui)\, and at the University of Washington (Postdoc in Electrical Engi
 neering and Physics).  Her research field is neuro-engineering and her ma
 in passions are developing wearable electronic technology and bionic visio
