Fibre Selective Neural Stimulation Using Intrafascicular Electrodes
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a nerve stimulation model, areas of excitation can be calculated for different configurations of intrafascicular electrodes. Theory predicts fibre selectivity and recruitment order to depend on the electrode configuration used. This is verified by experiment. These experiments though also reveal two new phenomena indicating that the effect of a stimulus is influenced by preceding stimuli for timeperiods up to several seconds.

Fibre function and perception during cutaneous nerve block.
In awake human subjects, neural responses in cutaneous nerves to electrical stimulation were recorded with intrafascicular tungsten micro-electrodes. Changes in the activity of individual fibre groups during blocking procedures were recorded and correlated with simultaneous alterations in the perception of standardized stimuli. Light touch sensibility in hairy skin was mediated by A-beta-gamma ...
متن کاملSelective Activation of Pig Forearm Muscles using Thin-Film Intrafascicular Electrodes Implanted in the Median Nerve
The quality of functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems is limited by the recording quality and the stimulation selectivity of the neural interface it uses. Thus advances in the quality of the neural interface can directly improve what can be offered by the FES system. The objective of the present study was to investigate the stimulation selectivity of the thin-film longitudinal intrafas...
متن کاملPerspectives on New Electrode Technology for Stimulating Peripheral Nerves with Implantable Motor Prostheses
The limits of present electrode technology are being reached in current motor prostheses for restoring functional movement in paralyzed people. Improved devices require electrodes and stimulation methods that will activate muscles selectively and independently with less implanted hardware. A practical functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) system may need to employ extraneural, intraneural,...
متن کاملSpike Sorting of Muscle Spindle Afferent Nerve Activity Recorded with Thin-Film Intrafascicular Electrodes
Afferent muscle spindle activity in response to passive muscle stretch was recorded in vivo using thin-film longitudinal intrafascicular electrodes. A neural spike detection and classification scheme was developed for the purpose of separating activity of primary and secondary muscle spindle afferents. The algorithm is based on the multiscale continuous wavelet transform using complex wavelets....
متن کاملAlternative Paradigm of Selective Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tested on an Isolated Porcine Vagus Nerve
Alternative paradigm for spatial and fibre-type selective vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) was developed using realistic structural topography and tested in an isolated segment of a porcine cervical left vagus nerve (LVN). A spiral cuff (cuff) containing a matrix of ninety-nine electrodes was developed for selective VNS. A quasitrapezoidal stimulating pulse (stimulus) was applied to the LVN via an...
