Topological Quantum Switching Enabled Neuroelectronic Synaptic Modulators for Brain Computer Interface

Te-based synaptic neuroelectronic device, where the electric field-induced tunable topological surface edge states and quantum switching properties make them a premier option for establishing artificial synaptic neuromodulation approaches, is designed and developed. Leveraging these unique quantum synaptic properties, the developed synaptic device provides the capability to neuromodulate distorted neural signals, leading to the reversal of age-related disorders via BCI. With the synaptic neuroelectronic characteristics of this device, excellent efficacy in treating cognitive neural dysfunctions through modulated neuromorphic stimuli is demonstrated. As a proof of concept, real-time neuromodulation of electroencephalogram (EEG) deduced distorted event-related potentials (ERP) is demonstrated by modulation of the synaptic device array.
