Development of a Transient Neural Interface for Minimally Invasive Recording and Stimulation
Transient electronics enabling devices to safely disappear in the environment can be applied not only in green electronics, but also in bioelectronic medicine. Neural implants able to degrade harmlessly inside the body eliminate the need for removal surger ...
EPFL2022Influence of advanced footwear technology on sub-2 hour marathon and other top running performances
Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville
In 2019, Eliud Kipchoge ran a sub-two hour marathon wearing Nike's Alphafly shoes. Despite being the fastest marathon time ever recorded, it wasn't officially recognized as race conditions were tightly controlled to maximize his success. Besides, Kipchoge' ...
WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH2022Motor state transitions and Breathing in Brain Machine Interfaces
Brain-Machine interfaces aim to create a direct neural link between user's brain and machines. This goal has pushed scientists to investigate a large spectrum of applications in the realm of assistive and rehabilitation technologies. However, despite great ...
EPFL2021Genetic-optimised aperiodic code for distributed optical fibre sensors
Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Sheng Wang, Jian Wu
Distributed optical fibre sensors deliver a map of a physical quantity along an optical fibre, providing a unique solution for health monitoring of targeted structures. Considerable developments over recent years have pushed conventional distributed sensor ...
2020Cognitive epigenetic priming: leveraging histone acetylation for memory amelioration
Multiple studies have found that increasing histone acetylation by means of histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) treatment can ameliorate memory and rescue cognitive impairments, but their mode of action is not fully understood. In particular, it is uncle ...
2020Multi-Channel AlGaN/GaN In-Plane-Gate Field-Effect Transistors
Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Jun Ma, Catherine Erine, Giovanni Santoruvo
In this letter, we present a multi-channel in-plane-gate field effect transistor (MC-IPGFET). In the proposed device, multiple vertically stacked two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) are simultaneously controlled by lateral in-plane gates formed with the ...
2020International Perspective on UHPC in Bridge Engineering
Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) offers significant potential to address a variety of needs in bridge design, construction, and performance enhancement. Bridge owners have shown willingness to embrace novel solutions that could address specific challe ...
ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS2020Overload blunts baroreflex only in overreached athletes
Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Masih Nilchian
Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used to diagnose overreaching and monitor athletes’ responses to training. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is modified by changes in training load and might be another means to detect overreaching. The goal of this stu ...
2018Neuroprosthetics to support impaired hand functions: A multidisciplinary approach combining brain-machine interfaces and wearable exoskeletons
Neuroprosthetics, the discipline that aims at interfacing neural systems to artificially engineered devices, has witnessed in recent years important advancements towards the ultimate goal of augmenting and restoring human functions through technology and a ...
EPFL2018Closed-loop electrical neurostimulation: Challenges and opportunities
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil, Michael Eric Anthony Pereira
Non-invasive and invasive electrical neurostimulation are promising tools to better understand brain function and ultimately treat its malfunction. In current open-loop approaches, a clinician chooses a fixed set of stimulation parameters, informed by obse ...
