BCI Atlas Lab brief North America

Northwestern University, Rogers Research Group

John A. Rogers' group at Northwestern University: flexible, injectable and bioresorbable electronics, with three cataloged neural-interface devices built with Illinois, Penn and Washington University collaborators.

The group’s own website is titled “Rogers Research Group - Northwestern University” and lists work on skin-integrated, implantable and bioresorbable electronics. John A. Rogers is the senior or corresponding author on the papers below. Several of them were done earlier, with authors at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, so the sheets name those institutions rather than Northwestern.

Cataloged hardware and applications

The group’s site also lists projects on bioresorbable electronic medicines for nerve regeneration, soft implantable optoelectronics for bladder control and 3D mesostructures for neural spheroids. None of these has a sheet in this catalog.

Program claims versus study evidence

The three cataloged sheets are academic research devices, not products. The group’s site describes projects and does not give clinical results; its descriptions are not treated as evidence beyond the papers cited on the sheets.

Not public or not verified

Group size, funding and any clinical program are not stated in the sources used here.
