Abstract
The microscopic interfacing of semiconductor devices and living neuronal systems is discussed. From the biological side, ion channels, nerve cells, and brain tissue are considered. Basic experimental studies are performed with capacitors and transistors of simple silicon chips. The approach is extended to a CMOS chip with 16000 transistor sensors.
