Drive and measurement electrode patterns for electrode impedance tomography (EIT) imaging of neural activity in peripheral nerve [PDF]
Objective: To establish the performance of several drive and measurement patterns in EIT imaging of neural activity in peripheral nerve, which involves large impedance change in the nerve's anisotropic length axis. Approach: Eight drive and measurement electrode patterns are compared using a finite element (FE) four cylindrical shell model of a ...

Experimental validation of a three-dimensional heat transfer model within the scala tympani with application to magnetic cochlear implant surgery [PDF]
Magnetic guidance of cochlear implants is a promising technique to reduce the risk of physical trauma during surgery. In this approach, a magnet attached to the tip of the implant electrode array is guided within the scala tympani using a magnetic field.

MagNI: A Magnetoelectrically Powered and Controlled Wireless Neurostimulating Implant [PDF]
This paper presents the first wireless and programmable neural stimulator leveraging magnetoelectric (ME) effects for power and data transfer. Thanks to low tissue absorption, low misalignment sensitivity and high power transfer efficiency, the ME effect enables safe delivery of high power levels (a few milliwatts) at low resonant frequencies (~250 kHz)

Spinal cord stimulation for the restoration of bladder function after spinal cord injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in the inability to empty the bladder voluntarily, and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) negatively impact both the health and quality of life of persons with SCI.

Flexible hybrid graphene/a-Si:H multispectral photodetectors [PDF]
We report on the integration of large area CVD grown single- and bilayer graphene transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) on amorphous silicon multispectral photodetectors. The broadband transmission of graphene results in 440% enhancement of the detectors' spectral response in the ultraviolet (UV) region at {\lambda} = 320 nm compared to reference ...

A Novel Power-optimized CMOS sEMG Device with Ultra Low-noise integrated with ConvNet (VGG16) for Biomedical Applications [PDF]
The needle bio-potential sensors for measuring muscle and brain activity need invasive surgical targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and a demanding process to maintain, but surface bio-potential sensors lack clear bio-signal reading (Signal-Interference).
