Spinal cord injury (SCI), second only to stroke, is the leading cause of paralysis. Therapies based on electrical stimulation of the spinal cord and other locomotor areas of the Nervous System improve motor control in people with neurotrauma. Neuromodulati ...
Neurotechnology is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical purpose of understanding, interacting and/or repairing the brain or, in a broader sense, the nervous system. The development of novel approaches to decode functional information fr ...
Neuroprosthetic systems are designed to interface with the nervous system, for the replacement or restoration of damaged functions in the motor and/or sensory systems. In order to have an efficient communication with the nervous tissue leading to optimized ...
Regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces are particularly invasive implant devices. They rely on the growth of axons from transected nerve stumps through electrode-bearing structures in order to establish highly efficient communication channels with the ne ...
The possibility of controlling dexterous hand prostheses by using a direct connection with the nervous system is particularly interesting for the significant improvement of the quality of life of patients, which can derive from this achievement. Among the ...
Neuroprostheses based on electrical stimulation are becoming a therapeutic reality, dramatically improving the life of disabled people. They are based on neural interfaces that are designed to create an intimate contact with neural cells. These devices spe ...
Recording and stimulation of brain circuits have been widely used to treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy1 and Parkinson’s disease2. Current available techniques in this field commonly require invasive surgery potentially entailing both transient ...
The prototype of an electronic bi-directional interface between the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) and a neuro-controlled hand prosthesis is presented. The system is composed of 2 integrated circuits: a standard CMOS device for neural recording and a HVCM ...
The treatment of disorders of the nervous system poses a major clinical challenge. Development of neuromodulation (i.e., interfacing electronics to nervous tissue to modulate its function) has provided patients with neuronal-related deficits a new tool to ...
Described herein are microelectrode array devices, and methods of fabrication and use of the same, to provide highly localized and efficient electrical stimulation of a neurological target. The device includes multiple microelectrode elements arranged alon ...
