Neural Stimulation Hardware for the Selective Intrafascicular Modulation of the Vagus Nerve
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 The neural stimulation of the vagus nerve is able to modulate various functions of the parasympathetic response in different organs. The stimulation of the vagus nerve is a promising approach to treating inflammatory diseases, obesity, diabetes, heart ...
