Microelectronics, as well as very large-scale integration (VLSI) have reached a state of maturity, where a single chip provides large amounts of computing power density, still leaving open questions in terms of power consumption, and thermal power dissipation. Recent attempts in combining these two fields of investigation have successfully demonstrated the possible implementation of some form of mutual responsiveness between microelectronic circuitry and living matter. New hardware tools are being developed, enabling neuro-physiological experiments to be conducted in vitro, as well as in vivo, recently including human implantation of semi-permanent microelectronic systems. Experts from The National Chiao Tung and National Cheng Kung Universities, TW, The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, CH, and the nano-tera.ch community gather at the WBMTSR-2014 Workshop on Biomedical Microelectronic Translational Systems Research on the EPFL, Lausanne campus to present their latest results. The themes of the Workshop include but are not limited to: • Biomedical circuits and systems, bioelectronic interfaces, in-vivo/in-vitro applications • Implantable systems, design, packaging, implantation techniques, practical experiences • Neuroprosthetic systems, control and implementations • Bio-medical and bio-electronics translational research. Acceptance Notification: July 30, 2014 SHORT PAPERS SUBMISSION: The Workshop invites original technical short paper contributions. Short papers should not exceed two pages, in the Workshop format, i.e., first page, two-column format text, and second page, two-column figures. MS-Word templates are available for download from the Workshop website. Contributions should be submitted by e-mail to: [email protected]. Authors of submissions agree to present their contribution as a Poster during the Workshop PUBLICATION and POSTERS: All submitted short papers will be subject to a topical conformity review. Contributions that are accepted by the Workshop Technical Program Chairs will be publicly accessible from the Workshop website, and will be presented by their Authors as a Workshop Poster.
