Velocity-selective Recording using Multi-electrode Nerve Cuffs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of recordings from cuff electrodes is presented. It is also shown that the system is inherently velocity selective. Unlike competing methods, the use of the system as a practical velocity-selective filter requires only relatively simple signal processing. This is due to the intrinsic properties of the multi-electrode cuff system.

Multi-electrode Nerve Cuff Recording – Model Analysis of the Effects of Finite Cuff Length
the effect of finite cuff length on the signals recorded by electrodes at different positions along the nerve was analysed in a model study. Relations were derived using a one-dimensional model. These were evaluated in a more realistic axially symmetric 3D model. This evaluation indicated that the cuff appeared shorter because of edge effects at the beginning and end of the cuff. The method for...
متن کاملNerve Cuff Electrodes for Prosthetic and Research Applications
A new generation of nerve cuffs suitable for stimulation, recording and modulation of nerve activity has been tested in our laboratory and elsewhere. The walls are molded of low-durometer silicone and incorporate flexible electrodes, Teflon-coated stainless steel leads and an interlocking opening/closing system. Stimulation and recording cuffs can be either single-channel or multichannel. Singl...
متن کاملA new method for spike extraction using velocity selective recording demonstrated with physiological ENG in Rat.
BACKGROUND This paper describes a series of experiments designed to verify a new method of electroneurogram (ENG) recording that enables the rate of neural firing within prescribed bands of propagation velocity to be determined in real time. Velocity selective recording (VSR) has been proposed as a solution to the problem of increasing the information available from an implantable neural interf...
متن کاملMeasurement of external pressures generated by nerve cuff electrodes.
When external pressures are applied to a peripheral nerve, tissue damage can occur via compression and blood flow occlusion, resulting in degeneration and demyelination of axons. Although many types of nerve electrodes have been designed to avoid or minimize this pressure during stimulation of the nerve or recording of its activity, the measurement of the pressure exerted by these cuffs has not...

The use of nerve cuff electrodes as p a r t of a closed loop functional electrical stimulation (FES) system has been demonstrated as a reliable alternative to artificial sensors (e.g., strain gauge). T o circumvent the need for multiple electrodes to record neural activity f rom different fascicles within a nerve, the flat interface nerve electrode (FINE) is presented as a potential approach to...
