Here is more information on the purpose of their efforts:

The intended applications of the research include complementing or replacing traditional electrical stimulation with neuron-like chemical signals in treatments for neurologial disorders. The prototype organic electronic biomimetic neuron would have the capacity to precisely intervene with the underlying malfunctioning signalling pathway.In the future, this may help physicians to bypass damaged nerve cells and restore neural function.
