Mechanisms of Electrical Stimulation with Neural Prostheses

open access: yesNeuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, 2003
Individual electric and geometric characteristics of neural substructures can have surprising effects on artificially controlled neural signaling. A rule of thumb approved for the stimulation of long peripheral axons may not hold when the central nervous system is involved.

Biomaterials Research in Neural Prostheses

Biomaterials, 1982
Abstract Neural prosthetic implants share many of the biomaterials requirements of other implants. They also have unique needs that are not satisfied by available materials. Specific biomaterials research problems are identified and possible solutions discussed.

Signal Processing Challenges for Neural Prostheses

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 2008
Cortically controlled prostheses are able to translate neural activity from the cerebral cortex into control signals for guiding computer cursors or prosthetic limbs. While both noninvasive and invasive electrode techniques can be used to measure neural activity, the latter promises considerably higher levels of performance and therefore functionality ...

Implantable biomedical microsystems for neural prostheses

open access: yesIEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2005
In the following article, the technologies to fabricate polyimide-based thin and flexible substrates with monolithically integrated electrode arrays and printed circuit boards (PCB) for hybrid electronic assemblies as well as an assembling technique that connects bare electronic dice with flexible PCBs are presented.

Model-Based Development of Neural Prostheses for Movement

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2007
Neural prostheses for restoration of limb movement in paralyzed and amputee patients tend to be complex systems. Subjective intuition and trial-and-error approaches have been applied to the design and clinical fitting of simple systems with limited functionality.

Performance sustaining intracortical neural prostheses

open access: yesJournal of Neural Engineering, 2014
Neural prostheses, or brain-machine interfaces, aim to restore efficient communication and movement ability to those suffering from paralysis. A major challenge these systems face is robust performance, particularly with aging signal sources. The aim in this study was to develop a neural prosthesis that could sustain high performance in spite of signal

A New Means of Transcutaneous Coupling for Neural Prostheses

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2007
Neural prostheses are electronic stimulators that activate nerves to restore sensory or motor functions. Implanted neural prostheses receive command signals and in some cases energy to recharge their batteries through the skin by telemetry. Here, we describe a new approach that eliminates the implanted stimulator.

Stimulation and Recording Electrodes for Neural Prostheses

open access: yesSpringer Briefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2015
This book provides readers with basic principles of the electrochemistry of the electrodes used in modern, implantable neural prostheses. The authors discuss the boundaries and conditions in which the electrodes continue to function properly for long ...
