Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This thesis reports on a novel system for
extracellular recordings of the activity of excitable cells, which relies on an
organic, charge-modulated field-effect transistor (FET) called OCMFET. The
book shows how, thanks to the intrinsic biocompatibility, lightness, and
inexpensiveness of the material used, this new system is able to overcome several
problems typical of of “classic” electronic and
bioelectronic. It
provides a full description of the system, together with a comprehensive report
of the successful experimental trials carried out on both cardiac and nerve
cells, and a concise yet comprehensive overview of bioelectronic interfaces and
organic sensors for electrophysiological applications.
