Neurorestorative interventions involving bioelectronic implants after spinal cord injury
Bioelectronic Medicine, 2019 In the absence of approved treatments to repair damage to the central nervous system, the role of neurosurgeons after spinal cord injury (SCI) often remains confined to spinal cord decompression and vertebral fracture stabilization.

The Role of Electrode-Site Placement in the Long-Term Stability of Intracortical Microstimulation
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Intracortical microelectrodes are neuroprosthetic devices used in brain-machine interfaces to both record and stimulate neural activity in the brain. These technologies have been improved by advances in microfabrication, which have led to the creation of

Brain-actuated functional electrical stimulation elicits lasting arm motor recovery after stroke
Nature Communications, 2018 Brain-computer interface (BCI) can improve motor skills on stroke patients. This study shows that BCI-controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy can cause cortical reorganization due to activation of efferent and afferent pathways, and this ...

Research Update: Platinum-elastomer mesocomposite as neural electrode coating
APL Materials, 2015 Platinum is electrochemically stable and biocompatible, and remains the preferred material for the fabrication of implantable neural electrodes. In a foil or film format, platinum is mechanically stiff compared to interfaced biological tissue.

Optimal control of ankle joint moment: Toward unsupported standing in paraplegia [PDF]
, 1998 This paper considers part of the problem of how to provide unsupported standing for paraplegics by feedback control. In this work our overall objective is to stabilize the subject by stimulation only of his ankle joints while the other joints are braced,

Defining Ecological Strategies in Neuroprosthetics [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 Neurological disorders disrupt the equilibrium within the brain and spinal cord ecosystems. Ecology reuses, recycles, and reduces to help maintain the balance across ecosystems. Likewise, neuroprosthetics can help the brain help itself with ecoprosthetic designs that integrate the principles of the "three 'R's."

Control and Ownership of Neuroprosthetic Speech [PDF]
Philosophy & Technology, 2020 AbstractImplantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are being developed to restore speech capacity for those who are unable to speak. Patients with locked-in syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis could be able to use covert speech – vividly imagining saying something without actual vocalisation – to trigger neural controlled systems capable of ...
