Programmable active pixel sensor to investigate neural interactions within the retina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Detection of the visual scene by the eye and the resultant neural interactions of the retina-brain system give us our perception of sight. We have developed an Active Pixel Sensor (APS) to be used as a tool for both furthering understanding of these ...

An Energy-Efficient, Dynamic Voltage Scaling Neural Stimulator for a Proprioceptive Prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents an energy-efficient neural stimulator capable of providing charge-balanced asymmetric pulses. Power consumption is reduced by implementing a fully-integrated DC-DC converter that uses a reconfigurable switched capacitor topology to ...

Tapping Into the Language of Touch: Using Non-invasive Stimulation to Specify Tactile Afferent Firing Patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The temporal pattern of action potentials can convey rich information in a variety of sensory systems. We describe a new non-invasive technique that enables precise, reliable generation of action potential patterns in tactile peripheral afferent neurons ...

Erectile response to intracavernous injection of vasoactive drugs after penile prosthesis removal [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Two patients with a history of penile prosthesis removal presented for non-prosthetic treatment of their erectile dysfunction. The first patient had a penile implant for two years before it was removed and showed extensive cavernosal fibrosis. He did not

A CMOS Neural Interface for a Multichannel Vestibular Prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE 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]

open access: yesJournal 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.

And Then There Was Light: Perspectives of Optogenetics for Deep Brain Stimulation and Neuromodulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a well-accepted add-on treatment for patients with severe Parkinsons disease as well as for other chronic neurological conditions.

Control of paralyzed skeletal muscles: A neural prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yesComputer 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.

Ethical issues in the development of a vestibular prosthesis

open access: yes, 2011
During the development of a neural prosthesis, various ethical aspects have to be considered. These range from the basic design of the prosthesis and manufacturing of the various components and the system using biocompatible materials to extensive in ...
