Neuro- or Biohybrid systems are systems formed by at least one biological component – i.e. already existing in living systems – and at least one artificial – newly engineered – component. Biological and artificial components are not independent, but are passing information either in one or both directions, thereby forming a new hybrid bio-artificial entity.
By promoting integration between neurotechnologies and biomimetics research, CSNII will be essential to development of these application fields.
