A CMOS Neural Interface for a Multichannel Vestibular Prosthesis [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 2016 We present a high-voltage CMOS neural-interface chip for a multichannel vestibular prosthesis (MVP) that measures head motion and modulates vestibular nerve activity to restore vision- and posture-stabilizing reflexes. This application specific integrated circuit neural interface (ASIC-NI) chip was designed to work with a commercially available ...

A cortical neural prosthesis for restoring and enhancing memory [PDF]
Journal of Neural Engineering, 2011 A primary objective in developing a neural prosthesis is to replace neural circuitry in the brain that no longer functions appropriately. Such a goal requires artificial reconstruction of neuron-to-neuron connections in a way that can be recognized by the remaining normal circuitry, and that promotes appropriate interaction.

Control of paralyzed skeletal muscles: A neural prosthesis [PDF]
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2005 One of the most used methods to perform artificial control of muscles is based on functional electrical stimulation (FES), which enables restoration of movement (e.g. arm, knee). FES-based devices use electric current pulses to stimulate and excite the (intact) peripheral nerves.

Action and non-action oriented body representations. insight from behavioural and grey matter modifications in individuals with lower limb amputation [PDF]
, 2018 Following current model of body representations, we aimed to systematically investigate the association between brain modifications, in terms of grey matter loss, and body representation deficits, in terms of alterations of the body schema (BS) and of ...

A neural interface for a cortical vision prosthesis
Vision Research, 1999 The development of a cortically based vision prosthesis has been hampered by a lack of basic experiments on phosphene psychophysics. This basic research has been hampered by the lack of a means to safely stimulate large numbers of cortical neurons. Recently, a number of laboratories have developed arrays of silicon microelectrodes that could enable ...

Peripheral Nerve Activation Evokes Machine-Learnable Signals in the Dorsal Column Nuclei
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2019 The brainstem dorsal column nuclei (DCN) are essential to inform the brain of tactile and proprioceptive events experienced by the body. However, little is known about how ascending somatosensory information is represented in the DCN.

3D computerized model for measuring strain and displacement of the brachial plexus following placement of reverse shoulder prosthesis [PDF]
, 2008 The aim of the present study was to develop a method for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the brachial plexus to study its morphology and to calculate strain and displacement in relation to changed nerve position.
