Development of a Transient Neural Interface for Minimally Invasive Recording and Stimulation

Adele Fanelli

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 ...

A method to establish functional vagus nerve topography from electro-neurographic spontaneous activity

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni

Bioelectronic medicine is an emerging approach to treat many types of diseases via electrical stimulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Because the vagus nerve (VN) is one of the most important nerves controlling several ANS functions, stimulation ...

Investigation of electrical stimulation of the optic nerve for artificial vision

Vivien Gaillet

Thanks to recent technological advances in microelectronics and bioengineering, it is now possible to restore lost or impaired sensory modalities by interfering the nervous system with elec-tronic devices and artificially reproducing the electrical encodin ...

Tutorial: a computational framework for the design and optimization of peripheral neural interfaces

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni, Giacomo Valle

Peripheral neural interfaces have been successfully used in the recent past to restore sensory-motor functions in disabled subjects and for the neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system. The optimization of these neural interfaces is crucial for ethi ...

NATURE RESEARCH2020

Objective:The cochlear nucleus (CN) is the target of the auditory brainstem implant (ABI). Most ABI candidates have Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and distorted brainstem anatomy from bilateral vestibular schwannomas. The CN is difficult to characterize as ...

LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS2020

Neuroprosthetics are a class of medical devices that aim to restore lost or impaired functions of the nervous system by electrical stimulation or recording of neural tissue. State of the art neural implants suffer today from a mechanical mismatch compared ...

Spatiotemporal stimulation strategies in neuroprostheses to improve locomotion after spinal cord injury

Jérôme Gandar

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts communication within central nervous system and lead to range of neurological disorders including paralysis. Current rehabilitation strategies to restore locomotion are poorly effective in people with severe SCI. Epidural ...

Soft multimodal neural interfaces for unravelling sensory neurological circuits

Frédéric Pierre Gérald Michoud

Diseases or injuries affecting the nervous system can dramatically disrupt the quality of life. Despite extensive efforts towards treating dysfunctional nervous systems, the pharmacological and electrical approaches generally involved lack the temporal and ...

Auditory Brainstem Implants: Recent Progress and Future Perspectives

Stéphanie Lacour, Nicolas Vachicouras

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) was first developed nearly 40 years ago and provides auditory rehabilitation to patients who are deaf and ineligible for cochlear implant surgery due to abnormalities of the cochlea and cochlear nerve. The aims of the f ...

A 3D Microscaffold Cochlear Electrode Array for Steroid Elution

Jürgen Brugger, Joo Yeon Kim, Jongmoon Jang

In cochlear implants, the electrode insertion trauma during surgery can cause damage residual hearing. Preserving the residual hearing is an important challenge and the localized administration of drugs, such as steroids, is one of the most promising ways, ...
