Modeling, fabrication and validation of 3D neural interfaces for peripheral nerves and brain organoids
This thesis presents an extensive exploration of neuroelectronic interfaces, focusing on microfabrication, in silico modeling, and their applications in designing and fabricating devices for neural interfacing. The research encompasses both peripheral nerv ...
EPFL2024Organ Neuroprosthetics: Connecting Transplanted and Artificial Organs with the Nervous System
Implantable neural interfaces with the central and peripheral nervous systems are currently used to restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions in disabled people with very promising results. They have also been used to modulate autonomic activities to ...
Wiley2024Unraveling behavior and cortical signals to guide the development of soft neuroprostheses for auditory restoration and spreading depolarization
Neuroprostheses have been used clinically for decades, to help restore or preserve brain functions, when pharmaceutical treatments are inefficient. Although great progress in the field has been made over the years to interface with the nervous system, surf ...
EPFL2024Bodily implant microelectrode and bodily implant microelectrode fabrication method
Sandro Carrara, Diego Ghezzi, Gian Luca Barbruni
The present invention concerns a bodily implantable or probe device and microelectrode fabrication method comprising providing at least one silicon substrate including an electronic device or unit; providing, on a first side of the silicon substrate, at le ...
2024Modulation of Visually Induced Self-motion Illusions by α Transcranial Electric Stimulation over the Superior Parietal Cortex
The growing popularity of virtual reality systems has led to a renewed interest in understanding the neurophysiological correlates of the illusion of self-motion (vection), a phenomenon that can be both intentionally induced or avoided in such systems, dep ...
Cambridge2024Real-time actuation of a dielectric elastomer actuator neuroprosthesis for facial paralysis
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Armando Matthieu Walter, Amine Benouhiba
Facial paralysis is a highly burdening condition, resulting in a patient's inability to move his mimic musculature on one or both sides of his face. This condition compromises the patient's communication and facial expressions, and thus dramatically reduce ...
2023Engineering Materials for Neurotechnology
Neurotechnology applies methods and devices to mitigate the burden of neurological and mental disorders. In particular, neural interfaces establish a long-term, seamless, symbiotic integration between implants and neural tissue. Materials play a pivotal ro ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Combining biophysical models and machine learning to optimize implant geometry and stimulation protocol for intraneural electrodes
Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Elena Losanno, Luca Pierantoni
Objective. Peripheral nerve interfaces have the potential to restore sensory, motor, and visceral functions. In particular, intraneural interfaces allow targeting deep neural structures with high selectivity, even if their performance strongly depends upon ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023The Development of Aptamer-Coupled Microelectrode Fiber Sensors (apta-?FS) for Highly Selective Neurochemical Sensing
The selective and sensitive sensing of neurochemicals is essential to decipher in-brain chemistry underlying brain pathophysiology. The recent development of flexible and multifunctional polymer-based fibers has been shown useful in recording and modulatin ...
