Electronic Stimulators for Surface Neural Prosthesis
This paper presents the technological advancements in neural prosthesis devices using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). FES refers to the restoration of motor functions lost due to spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, head injury, or diseases such as Cerebral Palsy or Multiple Sclerosis by eliciting muscular contractions through the use of a neuromuscular electrical stimulator device. The f...
متن کاملFlight Control of 10 Gram Insects by Implanted Neural Stimulators
We present several important advances on the flight-control microsystem for a cyborg beetle presented recently [1]. Giant beetles (Mecynorhina torquata) were employed to achieve larger payloads than the previously used Cotinis texana beetles. A new turning control method based on direct neural stimulation of the optic lobes (compound eyes) was achieved as well as initiation, cessation and eleva...
متن کاملEncapsulation of Electronic Components for a Retinal Prosthesis
Long-term success of an implantable retinal prosthesis depends on the ability to hermetically seal sensitive electronics from a saline environment with an encapsulant material. Furthermore, the retinal implant project's proposed laser-driven prosthesis requires that the encapsulation material be transparent. The device itself has two components that must protrude out of the encapsulation materi...
متن کاملNeural prosthesis in the wake of nanotechnology: controlled growth of neurons using surface nanostructures.
Neural prosthesis has been successfully applied to patients with motional or sensory disabilities for clinical purpose. To enhance the performance of the neural prosthetic device, the electrodes for the biosignal recording or electrical stimulation should be located in closer proximity to target neurons than they are now. Instead of revising the prior implanting surgery to improve the electrica...
متن کاملSurface vs. Implanted Emg for Multifunctional Prosthesis Control: Pilot Results
It has been hypothesized that, due to the potential to both provide a larger number of independent control sites and selectively record from forearm muscles (in particular the deep muscles), intramuscular EMG should be advantageous for multifunctional prosthesis control [1]. The use of surface electromyograms (EMG) to control a multiple degree-of-freedom prosthesis has been investigated for sev...
