Clinical translation of a high-performance neural prosthesis. [PDF]
Nat Med, 2015 Neural prostheses have the potential to improve the quality of life of individuals with paralysis by directly mapping neural activity to limb- and computer-control signals. We translated a neural prosthetic system previously developed in animal model studies for use by two individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis who had intracortical ...

Long-term use of a neural prosthesis in progressive paralysis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractBrain–computer interfaces (BCIs) enable communication with others and allow machines or computers to be controlled in the absence of motor activity. Clinical studies evaluating neural prostheses in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients have been performed; however, to date, no study has reported that ALS patients who progressed from ...

Toward a Cognitive Neural Prosthesis Using Focused Ultrasound. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2017 Non-invasive brain stimulation using focused ultrasound has many potential applications as a research and clinical tool, including its incorporation as either an extracorporeal or implantable neural prosthetic. To this end, we investigated the effect of focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with systemically administered microbubbles on visual-motor ...
