The theme of this edition is a “Breakthrough for Distributed Diagnostics and Therapy”, highlighting the enormous potential that Circuits and Systems have in developing distributed diagnostics and therapy, the next generation of medical care! The multidisciplinary nature of our conference allowed me to offer you a valuable series of keynotes and tutorials, as well as a extremely exciting series of tracks that you can enjoy by following the entire scientific program. This year, we also host two workshops: the Nanotera Workshop on Distribute Diagnostics and Therapy and the Outreach CAS event on Environmental Impact of Circuits and Systems. In line with our second workshop and with the new IEEE guidelines set last year for conferences, as well as with a long tradition in Switzerland for taking care of our world, we have not printed a conference program, in order to be gentler with our environment. Considering that our conference is a single-track event, you can have a look day-by-day at the printed program present in front of the Session Room, as well as download the digital version of our Final Program by the link: www.biocas2014.org/content/finalprogram Similarly, we also have not printed on paper the book of the abstracts. However, you can have full access to all the abstracts, as well as to all the papers, by downloading the Conference Proceedings at the link: www.biocas2014.org/content/conference-proceedings. You may download the Conference Proceedings only during the week of the conference (Monday, October 20 - Friday, October 24). Please, use the following credentials: • • ID: BioCAS2014 PSW: breakthrough Please, do not forget that this year our conference is also celebrating its 10th Anniversary! You are graciously invited to attend the Conference Dinner on Thursday night to celebrate all together. On behalf of all the members of our exceptional Organizing Committee, I cordially invite you to follow and contribute to the scientific program and make possible the full success of our conference! Happy to see you in Switzerland this year! Sincerely yours, General Chair, Sandro Carrara BioCAS 2014 4 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Dear members of the BioCAS community, We are delighted to join General Chair Sandro Carrara in welcoming you to what promises to be a most exciting BioCAS 2014 conference! This year marks IEEE BioCAS’ 10th anniversary, and again establishes new records in the continuing upward trends in the level of participation and quality of contributions to the conference technical program. We received a total of 270 paper submissions, up 60% from previous year and up 35% from previous records set in 2011 and 2012. We are pleased to observe that this marked increase in paper submissions, and similar strong turnout in increased preregistrations for conference attendance, owe to broadened participation by members of the BioCAS community through a concerted effort from both IEEE CAS and IEEE EMB, underscoring the important role of the synergy between technology advances in circuits and systems, and applications to biomedicine and clinical practice capable of impacting health and wellness globally. The technical program that you are about to enjoy is the result of dedicated work by a large number of volunteers, in addition to the contributing authors. A total of 42 Review Committee Members (RCMs), listed below, coordinated the peer review of all submitted papers by recruiting a total of 597 Reviewers covering expertise across all areas of BioCAS. A total of 1163 reviews were received, an average of over four reviews per paper. A total of 169 paper submissions were accepted into the BioCAS 2014 program, including 23 special session invited papers, which represent an acceptance rate of 62.5 percent. Accepted papers were grouped in nine Lecture Sessions totaling 43 papers, and three Poster Sessions totaling 126 papers. Decisions on acceptance were made based on RCM recommendations, and a weighted score of reviewer recommendations according to criteria of overall quality, originality, relevance, and clarity. Decisions on presentation type (lecture or poster) were made using the same criteria, in addition to presentation preference by the authors. BioCAS 2014 continues the tradition of BioCAS as a single-track conference, offering a range of exciting ways for authors to present their work to the entire attendance. In addition to conventional poster and lecture presentations, these include poster spotlights in the oral program, and live interactive demonstrations. We look forward to seeing you in Lausanne and to your active participation in all aspects of the conference!

The first team to demonstrate full functionality will be awarded a $1 million prize. This will accelerate our understanding of electricity’s role in physiology by decoding the neuro-signalling networks. We hope this will ultimately pave the way for the development of bioelectronic medicines that intelligently modulate disease states by reading, interpreting and writing the electrical impulses of the nervous system. Innovation challenge-the specifics The goal of this challenge is to advance research into bioelectronic medicines by addressing the broad need to interrogate neural signals in visceral nerves. Such a common platform will not only solve a major hurdle for the bioelectronic medicines research community, but also accelerate the technology development that will pave the way for future bioelectronic medicines. The challenge will entail the generation of a miniaturized, implantable wireless device that can chronically record, stimulate and block functionally specific neural signals to and from a single visceral organ over a 60 a day period. More specifically, this will require the demonstration of the following three elements. Recording of neural patterns that correlate with end-organ function upon physiological perturbation. Stimulation of nerves to elicit end-organ function without perturbation. Reversible blocking to inhibit end-organ function upon perturbation. The first team to demonstrate full functionality in one out of the four organ models selected will be awarded $1 million. Innovation Challenge Fund Solving the challenge will require interdisciplinary capabilities made up of deep animal physiology expertise, neural engineers, disease biologists, algorithim developers, power, telemetry and materials scientists. GSK will play an integrating role where possible to ensure that the parties interested in the challenge are brought together into multi-dicsiplinary teams that can effectively tackle the challenge. It is up to the team of solvers to chose the technical path to solve the challenge, including the neural interface approach [e.g. electrical, optical, ultrasonic, electromagnetic]; the powering approach [e.g. battery, induction, or energy harvesting]; and the wireless information transfer approach. Teams should draw on normal sources of research funding for their work towards such a demonstration. The GSK Innovation Challenge team will also keep those working on the Challenge informed of new funding opportunities as they become available.

He is the founder of the Brain Mind Institute, founder and director of the Blue Brain Project, and the coordinator of the ambitious Human Brain Project, which aims to construct a computerized simulation of the human brain. The HBP was selected in January 2013 to be one of the European Commission’s Future Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagships, with a grant of more than €1 billion over the next ten years. The initiative involves researchers in 80 institutions across Europe – from biologists, neurobiologists and biochemists to computer scientists and engineers. Markram believes that the HBP may lead not only to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the brain and its illnesses, but that it could also provide new, innovative concepts for designing computers and robots. Markram also aims for the Human Brain Project to spur a new approach to mental health globally. After earning his PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science, with distinction, the South-­‐ African-­‐born Markram was a Fulbright scholar at the US National Institutes of Health, and a Minerva Fellow at the Max-­‐Planck Institute for Medical Research. In 1995 he returned to the Weizmann Institute, becoming an Associate Professor in 2000. Since 2002, he has been at the EPFL and has spearheaded Switzerland’s ambition to become a world leader in high performance computing and to prioritize simulation-­‐based research; these fields are now two of the three national research priorities declared by the Swiss government. In 2005 he launched the Blue Brain Project, which in 2008 produced a first draft simulation of a rodent brain neocortical column generated on a supercomputer. This simulation gave proof of concept – and a source of newchallenges. It highlighted the incredible scientific potential of a complete model of a human brain, but it also indicated that this undertaking would need to be immense – on par with the huge LHC project at CERN. A frequent speaker in scientific, corporate and political fora including the 2012 g20 meeting in Mexico, Shimon Peres’ 90th Birthday Conference, the WIPO General Assembly in 2013, and the 2010, 2011 and 2012 annual meetings of the WEF, Henry Markram talks about one of 21st-­‐century science’s most complex and important challenges. His 2009 TED talk – provocatively entitled “A Brain in a Supercomputer” – has registered more than half a million views. Markram’s published work includes more than one hundred papers receiving over 15’000 citations. Also active in the field of academic publishing, he and Kamila Markram founded Frontiers (frontiersin.org), a community-­‐driven open-­‐access academic publisher and research network. Frontiers drives innovations and new technologies around publishing, social networking for researchers, and a whole ecosystem of open science tools and has become one of the largest and fastest-­‐ growing open-­‐access publishers. Frontiers recently joined the Nature Publishing Group. 31 Thursday, October 23rd - Tim Denison, Medtronic, Inc., USA "Creating Windows into the Brain" Tim’s company Medtronic has been working with MRC-funded scientist Professor Peter Brown to develop the next generation of a deep brain stimulation device for Parkinson’s disease. The device ‘listens in’ to brain activity and represents a significant milestone in the long-term journey toward a ‘closed-loop’ deep brain stimulation system. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a medical procedure designed to treat the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), has been in use since the late 1990s. Developed in collaboration with Medtronic, who make and sell DBS devices, it involves electrically stimulating a specific part of the brain, and is able to reduce the shaking, stiffness and mobility issues in PD patients who don’t respond to drug treatments. The treatment involves surgically inserting a wire into a targeted area of the brain. The wire is connected to a small device that generates electrical pulses. This device is implanted under the skin of the chest and sends small electrical currents through the wire to the brain, interrupting the brain signals that cause tremor and allowing the patient to gain more control over their body movements. Medtronic has been collaborating with the MRC again through MRC-funded scientist Professor Peter Brown from the University of Oxford. They’ve been carrying out research with a new DBS system, called the Activa® PC+S neurostimulator, that stimulates the brain and also senses and records its electrical signalling while DBS therapy is being delivered. This research could lead to a better understanding of how various devastating neurological conditions develop and progress. The new device will be made available to select researchers in the coming months. Now Medtronic is working on a ‘closed-loop’ technology, still in early development, which could potentially work in rhythm with the brain’s activity. Professor Brown’s research supports these efforts. Tim explains: “Right now there’s limited information on what’s going on in the brain’s neural network and so you have to look at the patient and try to gather information. Professor Brown’s previous research with an external system has found some interesting brain signals that might help us work out the best programming, electrodes and settings to use. That’s an exciting development that we want to explore. “With a closed-loop device, the hope is that we get a combination of better outcomes for patients, with fewer side effects, and also increased longevity of the device. Todays’ devices last around five years, but if we could close the loop and only provide stimulation when required, then we’ll be able to prolong the time that the device is still functioning.” “Medtronic definitely benefits from engagement with academic researchers for our early-stage discovery.” Results from MRC-funded research are used by companies like Medtronic to contribute to the launch of new treatments and diagnostics that improve the health and well-being of patients worldwide. Tim comments: “Medtronic definitely benefits from engagement with academic researchers for our early-stage discovery. We put together our world-class engineers with neurologists like Professor Brown; we explore his research to solve problems and come up with practical answers that eventually translate into new medical solutions.” According to Tim, DBS therapy is now used worldwide and more than 100,000 people have benefitted from using it to treat PD and other diseases. If the new technology is a success and eventually approved to treat additional diseases, its reach might extend further than PD: “We’re expanding into new therapy opportunities for DBS which are still under investigation, for example for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, Tourette’s syndrome and depression. These are all very active areas that might benefit from closed-loop DBS technology in the future.” 32 Friday, October 24th - Dr. John Rogers, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign USA "Stretchy electronics that can dissolve in your body" Professor John A. Rogers obtained BA and BS degrees in chemistry and in physics from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1989. From MIT, he received SM degrees in physics and in chemistry in 1992 and the PhD degree in physical chemistry in 1995. From 1995 to 1997, Rogers was a Junior Fellow in the Harvard University Society of Fellows. During this time he also served as a founder and Director of Active Impulse Systems, a company that commercialized technologies developed during his PhD work. He joined Bell Laboratories as a Member of Technical Staff in the Condensed Matter Physics Research Department in 1997, and served as Director of this department from the end of 2000 to 2002. He currently holds a Swanlund Chair, the highest chaired position at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign. He has a primary appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, with joint appointments in the Departments of Chemistry, Bioengineering, Mechanical Science and Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. He served as the Director of a Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center on nanomanufacturing, funded by the National Science Foundation, from 2009-2012. He is currently Director of the Seitz Materials Research Laboratory.
