About The Atlas

   The Bioelectric Atlas is an open-access, high-resolution mapping project designed to chart the spatial and temporal dynamics of bioelectric activity in living systems. 


By integrating data from cutting-edge tools like voltage-sensitive imaging, optogenetics, and ion channel profiling, we aim to build a foundational resource for researchers across disciplines — from developmental biology to synthetic bioelectronics.

The Bioelectric Atlas - Key Points

1. Electricity as a Biological Language

 Every cell in your body carries an electrical charge — not just neurons. The bioelectric hypothesis suggests that this electrical activity helps organize how cells grow, move, and heal. It’s like a hidden language that guides development and regeneration — a biological "circuit board." 

2. Signals That Shape Life

 From flatworms that regrow heads with altered electrical signals to human tissues displaying voltage shifts during healing, scientific evidence is mounting: bioelectric signals don’t just mirror life — they help shape it. These signals influence where organs form, how wounds close, and how tissues regenerate. 

3. A Shared Map for Many Disciplines

 The Bioelectric Atlas project is an open-access, high-resolution mapping project designed to chart the spatial and temporal dynamics of bioelectric activity in living systems. By integrating data from tools like voltage-sensitive imaging, optogenetics, and ion channel profiling, the Atlas provides a common platform for collaboration across fields — from developmental biology and neuroscience to synthetic bioelectronics and regenerative medicine. 

4. A Platform for Discovery and Connection

 The Bioelectric Atlas is more than a map — it's a multi-modal reference built to reveal how bioelectric states shape cellular behavior, tissue formation, and functional dynamics. Designed to support both fundamental research and real-world applications, the project invites experts working at the interface of biology and engineering to connect, contribute, and collaborate. It is built on the belief that sharing this information openly can accelerate innovation across medicine, synthetic biology, and bioelectronic design. 

The Bioelectric Hypothesis & philosophical implications

 The bioelectric hypothesis proposes that cells communicate, organize, and make functional decisions through bioelectric signals—voltage gradients and ion flows—acting as an information-processing layer that governs development, regeneration, and cognition beyond genetic instructions. 


Philosophically, this challenges the traditional gene-centric view of biology, suggesting that bioelectricity serves as a collective intelligence system, where cells and tissues encode shape and function dynamically, much like a computational network. This perspective bridges evolution, cognition, and bioengineering, redefining life as an electrically driven, self-organizing system.

Changing from Tail to an Eye

  When this frog was a tadpole, researchers implanted the cells necessary to grow an eye on its tail. As it grew and its tale shrunk, the eye persisted—as did it'sability to see.                                                                                                                                        (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22159581/ )

THE ASSOCIATION OF BIOELECTRIC SIGNALING

Mission Statement

The Israeli Association for Bioelectric Signalling is dedicated to advancing research, collaboration, and application of bioelectric signalling as a fundamental biological system. By fostering multidisciplinary partnerships, the association seeks to map, model, and harness bioelectricity for breakthroughs in regeneration, development, cognition, and biotechnology.

Aims

  1. Create a centralized community of      researchers working on bioelectric signalling and bioelectric-based      interventions.
  2. Develop the Bioelectric Atlas, a comprehensive      mapping of bioelectric patterns across cell types.
  3. Attract research funding by      establishing an international scientific and commercial framework.
  4. Advance Israel’s leadership in      bioelectricity as a key driver of biological function and innovation.
  5. Promote interdisciplinary research,      bridging bioengineering, regenerative medicine, and computational      biology.

Objectives


  1. Identify and bring together leading      research groups in Israel working on bioelectricity to validate the concept, science and      disability. 
  2. Establish international collaborations     with leading institutions (e.g., Levin Lab, Tufts University).
  3. Secure government and private sector      funding for foundational research and applications.
  4. Develop computational tools & machine      learning frameworks for bioelectric signal analysis.
  5. Promote publications, workshops, and      conferences to expand knowledge and engagement.
  6. develop a standardized bioelectric      reference model by mapping and defining "NORMAL"      bioelectric behaviour of cells across specific functions and lifecycle
  7. Set up pilot studies to validate      bioelectric-based regenerative medicine approaches.
