Neural implants have demonstrated efficacy in implementing therapies for neurological disorders but their rigid design often leads to complications due to the mechanical mismatch with soft neural tissue. Current research focuses on developing flexible elec ...
All functions we use in our everyday life depend on a complex interplay between both cortical and subcortical brain areas, communicating in between each others. When a region is affected by either an accident, aging or neurodegenerative diseases, the whole ...
Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action ...
Objective. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia effectively tackles motor symptoms of movement disorders such as Tourette syndrome (TS). The precise location of target stimulation site determines the range of clinical outcome in DBS patients, and ...
Recovery of reaching and grasping ability is the priority for people with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has shown promising results in improving motor control after SCI in various animal models and in humans. Nota ...
We present a finite element based simulation and analysis method to describe the spatial extent of stimulation and the effects of electrode–tissue interactions in subretinal prostheses. In particular, we estimate the threshold stimulation current needed to ...
