Presentation of the bioelectronics research theme
The BioElectronics Department is composed of three research groups: SANE (Health & Environment), TIPS (Innovative Technology For Health) and 2HC (Hybrid Hardware Computing – former IA team).
Although each research group has its own research projects, the three groups work towards a common goal to develop “real-time closed-loop solutions dedicated to biological and human applications”. The close-loop paradigm involves three steps :
- Real-time acquisition of physiological data
- Processing and interpretation of these data
- Decision and stimulation (cells, organ, organism, animal, human)
- Methods and technologies used for signal processing are mainly based on bio-inspired computation. This hybrid approach combining biological and artificial components makes it possible to optimize the performance of systems, especially in terms of robustness and power consumption.
