Implications of Neural Plasticity in Retinal Prosthesis

open access: yesInvestigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2022
Retinal degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa cause a progressive loss of photoreceptors that eventually prevents the affected person from perceiving visual sensations. The absence of a visual input produces a neural rewiring cascade that propagates along the visual system. This remodeling occurs first within the retina.

Upward Shifts in the Internal Representation of Frequency Can Persist Over a 3-Year Period for Cochlear Implant Patients Fit With a Relatively Short Electrode Array

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Patients fit with cochlear implants (CIs) commonly indicate at the time of device fitting and for some time after, that the speech signal sounds abnormal. A high pitch or timbre is one component of the abnormal percept.

Is an artificial limb embodied as a hand? Brain decoding in prosthetic limb users.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2020
The potential ability of the human brain to represent an artificial limb as a body part (embodiment) has been inspiring engineers, clinicians, and scientists as a means to optimise human-machine interfaces. Using functional MRI (fMRI), we studied whether

Bio-Compatibility and Bio-Insulation of Implantable Electrode Prosthesis Ameliorated by A-174 Silane Primed Parylene-C Deposited Embedment

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Microelectrodes for pain management, neural prosthesis or assistances have a huge medical demand, such as the application of pain management chip or retinal prosthesis addressed on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Multichannel stimulation module as a tool for animal studies on cortical neural prostheses

open access: yesFrontiers in Medical Technology, 2022
Intracortical microstimulation to the visual cortex is thought to be a feasible technique for inducing localized phosphenes in patients with acquired blindness, and thereby for visual prosthesis.

Use of artificial intelligence and neural networks for analysis and gesture detection in electrical impedance tomography

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Artificial intelligence and neural networks are getting more and more relevant for several types of application. The field of prosthesis technology currently uses electromyography for controllable prosthesis. The precision of the control suffers from the

An implementation of movement classification for prosthesis control using custom-made EMG system [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2017
Electromyography (EMG) is a well known technique used for recording electrical activity produced by human muscles. In the last few decades, EMG signals are used as a control input for prosthetic hands.

Dorsal Column Nuclei Neural Signal Features Permit Robust Machine-Learning of Natural Tactile- and Proprioception-Dominated Stimuli

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020
Neural prostheses enable users to effect movement through a variety of actuators by translating brain signals into movement control signals. However, to achieve more natural limb movements from these devices, the restoration of somatosensory feedback is ...
