Artifical Neural Nets for Peripheral Nervous System - remoted Limb Prostheses

, 1994
In this paper we review the aim of the INTER 1 -project (Intelligent Neural InTERface), especially from the point of view of Artificial Neural Nets (ANN). We also propose a modus operandi to process real nerve signals using ANN.

Visual prostheses for the blind [PDF]

, 2013
After more than 40 years of research, visual prostheses are moving from the laboratory into the clinic. These devices are designed to provide prosthetic vision to the blind by stimulating localized neural populations in one of the retinotopically ...

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Friend, Not Foe: Lowered Tissue Reactivity to Long‐Term Polyimide Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The choice of optimal neural probe designs remains a major challenge in the field of neurotechnology. This study investigated the biocompatibility of several probe variations, including material, thickness, width, and implantation strategy. It highlights the clear advantage of soft polyimide probes over stiff silicon probes for better device ...
