Bioelectrodes for Neural Prostheses
MRS Proceedings, 1985ABSTRACTNeural prostheses which are commercially available include cochlear implants for treating certain forms of deafness and urinary bladder evacuation prostheses for individuals with spinal cord disorders. In the future we can anticipate improvements in bioelectrodes and biomaterials which should permit more sophisticated devices such as visual ...

Silicon microsystems for neuroscience and neural prostheses
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 2005Silicon-based microsystems are being developed to interface with the central nervous system (CNS) at the cellular level. Dense three-dimensional (3-D) microelectrode arrays with as many as several hundred sites permit acute and semichronic single-unit recording and stimulation, while on-chip circuitry for site selection, amplification, and multiplexing

Control of neural prostheses for grasping and reaching
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2002In recent years several neural prostheses have been developed and tested as orthoses or as therapeutic systems for hemiplegic and tetraplegic subjects aiming to improve the upper extremities function. The use of neural prostheses demonstrated that the targeted group of subjects could significantly benefit from functional electrical stimulation that is ...

Supramolecular architectures for neural prostheses.
2007Neural prosthetic devices offer a means of restoring function that have been lost due to neural damage. The first part of this thesis investigates the design of a 15-channel, low-power, fully implantable stimulator chip. The chip is powered wirelessly and receives wireless commands.
