Energy Efficient Neural Stimulation: Coupling Circuit Design and Membrane Biophysics
The delivery of therapeutic levels of electrical current to neural tissue is a well-established treatment for numerous indications such as Parkinson's disease and chronic pain. While the neuromodulation medical device industry has experienced steady clinical growth over the last two decades, much of the core technology underlying implanted pulse generators remain unchanged. In this study we pro...
متن کاملMembrane biophysics
In physics, we usually want to reduce the behavior of the system to fit it to a formula. In biology, however, all the details of the system are important; their organization makes for life. Thus the organization of proteins in the plasma membrane is critical for various biological processes that occur on membranes. My purpose here is to introduce readers first to the opportunities for learning ...
متن کاملA system for efficient neural stimulation with energy recovery
An analog VLSI-based low-power neural tissue stimulator is presented as a part of the MIT and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Retinal Implant Project to develop a prosthesis for restoring some useful vision to patients blinded by retinal degeneration. Such a prosthesis would receive image data from an external camera and electrically stimulate surviving ganglion nerve cells. However, power ...
متن کامل1 Iterative Electrode Contact Design for Efficient Neural Stimulation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a clinically proven therapy of electrically stimulating specific brain structures such as the subthalamic nucleus (STN), via surgically implanted electrodes, to treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Our study involved designing novel electrode contact geometries, based on mathematically defined sequences, which would generate a larger simulate...
متن کاملsimulation and design of electronic processing circuit for restaurants e-procurement system
the poor orientation of the restaurants toward the information technology has yet many unsolved issues in regards to the customers. one of these problems which lead the appeal list of later, and have a negative impact on the prestige of the restaurant is the case when the later does not respond on time to the customers’ needs, and which causes their dissatisfaction. this issue is really sensiti...
