Predictive models for response to non-invasive brain stimulation in stroke: A critical review of opportunities and pitfalls

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Philip Egger

Background: Noninvasive brain stimulation has been successfully applied to improve stroke impairments in different behavioral domains. Yet, clinical translation is limited by heterogenous comes within and across studies. It has been proposed to develop and ...

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 ...

A biomimetic electrical stimulation strategy to induce asynchronous stochastic neural activity

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Edoardo D'Anna, Emanuele Formento, Sandra Gribi

Objective.Electrical stimulation is an effective method for artificially modulating the activity of the nervous system. However, current stimulation paradigms fail to reproduce the stochastic and asynchronous properties of natural neural activity. Here, we ...

Sensitivity to temporal parameters of intraneural tactile sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Background Recent studies have shown that neural stimulation can be used to provide artificial sensory feedback to amputees eliciting sensations referred on the amputated hand. The temporal properties of the neural stimulation modulate aspects of evoked se ...

Directional Local Field Potentials in the Subthalamic Nucleus During Deep Brain Implantation of Parkinson's Disease Patients

André Mercanzini, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen

Segmented deep brain stimulation leads feature directional electrodes that allow for a finer spatial control of electrical stimulation compared to traditional ring-shaped electrodes. These segmented leads have demonstrated enlarged therapeutic windows and ...

A data-driven polynomial approach to reproduce the scar tissue outgrowth around neural implants

Silvestro Micera

Despite the huge complexity of the foreign body reaction, a quantitative assessment over time of the scar tissue thickness around implanted materials is needed to figure out the evolution of neural implants for long times. A data-driven approach, based on ...

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 ...
