Clinical translation of a high-performance neural prosthesis [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 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 ...

Freedom of Thought and Mental Integrity: The Moral Requirements for Any Neural Prosthesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 There are many kinds of neural prostheses available or being researched today. In most cases they are intended to cure or improve the condition of patients affected by some cerebral deficiency.

Long-term use of a neural prosthesis in progressive paralysis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 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 ...

Learning a neural response metric for retinal prosthesis [PDF]
, 2017 ABSTRACT Retinal prostheses for treating incurable blindness are designed to electrically stimulate surviving retinal neurons, causing them to send artificial visual signals to the brain. However, electrical stimulation generally cannot precisely reproduce typical patterns of neural activity in the retina.

Towards Control of a Transhumeral Prosthesis with EEG Signals
Bioengineering, 2018 Robotic prostheses are expected to allow amputees greater freedom and mobility. However, available options to control transhumeral prostheses are reduced with increasing amputation level. In addition, for electromyography-based control of prostheses, the

Application progress of neural prosthesis in rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2017 Neural prosthesis is based on brain-computer interface (BCI), which directly acts on the muscle system or an external device by analyzing EEG control commands, so as to compensate the efferent pathway of brain-spinal cord-muscle and recover motor ...
