With the ever-increasing need for miniaturized and biocompatible devices for physiological recordings, high signal fidelity and ease of fabrication are key to achieve reliable data collection. This calls for the development of active recording devices such as Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) which, compared to passive electrodes, offer local amplification. In this work, we built PEDOT:PSS based OECTs using novel inkjet printing technology, achieving a transconductance of 75 mS. The device was later used to amplify arbitrary signals simulating in vivo recordings. Gate voltage offset manipulation offered a range of current peak-to-peak amplitudes. Additionally, we demonstrate a simple circuit for voltage readings, where another resistor-dependent characterization involving voltage source and drain voltage is performed. At ideal operating point and when using a 220 Ω resistor, a gain of 14.5 is *** Relevance— 1 This work demonstrates the ability to rapidly and easily develop OECT-based technology for potential signal sensing for more accurate diagnosis of pathologies and diseases.

Non-invasive low intensity, low frequency ultrasound is a progressive neuromodulation approach that can reach deep brain areas with peak spatial and temporal resolution for highly-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Coupling the ultrasound mechanical effects to the neural membrane comprises different mechanisms that are, to-date, still a topic of debate. The availability of calcium ions in the extracellular medium is of high significance when it comes to the effect of ultrasound on the neural tissue. Whereby the generated calcium influx can directly affect the voltage-gated ion channels, amplifying their action. We modeled the flexoelectric-induced effects of ultrasound to a single firing neuron, taking into consideration the effect of calcium channel embedding into the neural membrane on the neuron’s firing rate, latency response, peak-to-peak voltage, and general shape of the action *** Relevance— Upon Ultrasound sonication, the mechanical waves interact with the neural membrane and alter the kinetics of the calcium channels, thus changing the neural response.
