DESCRIPTION:Rikky Muller\nAbstract\nNeural interface technologies stand to
  revolutionize disease care for patients with neurological conditions and 
 in the future\, the human experience. Today\, there are two main classes o
 f neural interface technologies: (1) brain-machine interfaces that record 
 neural activity to control external devices and (2) neuromodulation techno
 logies that provide stimulation to treat interactable neurological conditi
 ons. Unifying recording and stimulation technologies will enable intellige
 nt\, closed-loop devices that can monitor\, learn\, diagnose\, and treat d
 isease autonomously. In this talk I will present three classes of implanta
 ble neural interface technologies that enable bidirectional and closed-loo
 p interactions with the brain and peripheral nervous system. These devices
  are based on integrated circuit and microsystems technologies that combin
 e extreme miniaturization with advanced performance. I will start by prese
 nting neuromodulation technology that combines high channel count neural r
 ecording with neurostimulation in a truly closed-loop manner. This technol
 ogy will enable automated programming and adaptive\, patient-specific ther
 apies that will result in improved outcomes and reduced side effects. I wi
 ll also present our work in the extreme miniaturization of recording and s
 timulating interfaces for the peripheral nervous system\, and a new class 
 of optical neural interfaces that will enable single-cell interactions wit
 h thousands neurons.\n\nBiography\nRikky Muller\, PhD is an Assistant Prof
 essor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley where
  she holds the S. Shankar Sastry Professorship in Emerging Technologies. S
 he received her BS and Meng degrees from MIT and her PhD from UC Berkeley.
  She is currently a Co-director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (
 BWRC)\, a Core Member of the Center for Neural Engineering and Prostheses 
 (CNEP) and an Investigator at the Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub. Dr. Muller was p
 reviously an IC designer at Analog Devices\, and was the co-founder of Cor
 tera Neurotechnologies\, Inc. a medical device company focused on closed-l
 oop deep brain stimulation technology. Her research group focuses on emerg
 ing implantable and wearable medical devices and in developing low-power\,
  wireless microelectronic and integrated systems for neurological applicat
 ions. She was named one of MIT Tech Review’s 35 global innovators under 
 35 (TR35) and Boston MedTech’s 40 healthcare innovators under 40. She is
  the recipient of the National Academy of Engineering Gilbreth Lectureship
 \, the NSF CAREER Award\, the Keysight Early Career Professorship\, the Mc
 Knight Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award\, and the IEEE Soli
 d-State Circuits Society New Frontier Award. She is a Bakar Fellow\, a Hel
 lman Fellow\, and a Distinguished Lecturer for the Solid-State Circuits So
