Closed-Loop Efficient Searching of Optimal Electrical Stimulation Parameters for Preferential Excitation of Retinal Ganglion Cells
The ability for visual prostheses to preferentially activate functionally-distinct retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is important for improving visual perception. This study investigates the use of high frequency stimulation (HFS) to elicit RGC activation, using a closed-loop algorithm to search for optimal stimulation parameters for preferential ON and OFF RGC activation, resembling natural physio...
متن کاملOptical imaging to evaluate retinal activation by electrical currents using suprachoroidal-transretinal stimulation.
PURPOSE To determine whether reflectance changes of the retina after electrical suprachoroidal-transretinal stimulation (STS) can be detected with a newly developed optical imaging fundus camera. METHODS Ten eyes of 10 cats were studied. A small retinal area was focally stimulated with electric currents passing between an active electrode placed in the fenestrated sclera and a reference elect...
متن کاملA systematic review investigating the relationship between efficacy and stimulation parameters when using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation after knee arthroplasty
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation in the treatment of postoperative knee arthroplasty pain and to relate these results to the stimulation parameters used. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Pedro and Web of Knowledge were systematically screened for studies investigating effects of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation on postoperative knee arthrop...
متن کاملOptimization of electrical stimulation parameters for cardiac tissue engineering.
In vitro application of pulsatile electrical stimulation to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes cultured on polymer scaffolds has been shown to improve the functional assembly of cells into contractile engineered cardiac tissues. However, to date, the conditions of electrical stimulation have not been optimized. We have systematically varied the electrode material, amplitude and frequency of stimulatio...
متن کاملNew currents in electrical stimulation of excitable tissues.
Electric fields can stimulate excitable tissue by a number of mechanisms. A uniform long, straight peripheral axon is activated by the gradient of the electric field that is oriented parallel to the fiber axis. Cortical neurons in the brain are excited when the electric field, which is applied along the axon-dendrite axis, reaches a particular threshold value. Cardiac tissue is thought to be de...
