Neuromorphic Sensors and Bioelectronics

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement of bioelectronics for seamless interaction with the human body is propelled by continuous innovations in sensing and signal processing technologies. In this rapidly evolving field, biosensors play a critical role by enabling the selective and sensitive detection of biological signals, while neuromorphic computing offers brain-inspired architectures that deliver highly efficient, low-power information processing and adaptive decision-making capabilities. The convergence of biosensing, neuromorphic computing, and bioelectronics has become a prominent and rapidly evolving interdisciplinary frontier, giving rise to once-unimaginable breakthroughs, ranging from wearable health monitors and neuromorphic prosthetics to advanced neuromorphic brain–computer interfaces. Realizing their full potential, however, demands coordinated advances across multiple disciplines, including materials science, device physics, systems engineering, and biology.

This Special Issue, entitled “Neuromorphic Sensors and Bioelectronics,” seeks to highlight the latest research and technological innovations in this dynamic area. We invite original contributions that explore novel materials, device designs, system integration approaches, and applications at the intersection of biosensing, neuromorphic computing, and bioelectronics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Biosensors and neuromorphic sensors: Novel designs for detecting biomarkers, metabolites, electrolytes, and neurotransmitters in wearable or in vivo settings; bio-inspired and event-driven sensing systems, spiking sensors, and adaptive sensory encoding schemes.
• Wearable and implantable health monitoring devices and systems: Flexible, stretchable, and minimally invasive devices and systems for continuous physiological and biochemical tracking.
• Brain–machine interfaces and neural prostheses: Bidirectional interfaces employing neuromorphic sensing and stimulation for neural decoding and modulation.
• Closed-loop bioelectronic systems: Autonomous devices capable of sensing, processing, and delivering therapeutic or regulatory responses.
• Materials and integration strategies: Novel materials and fabrication techniques enabling soft, biocompatible, and robust sensor–electronic interfaces.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and fostering scholarly exchange to further advance this exciting frontier of research.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
