Electrical Impedance Tomography in Nerve Cuffs: Towards an Intuitive Control Interface for Neural-Prosthetics
… is an imaging modality which is sensitive to neural activity and can resolve multiple concurrent changes in impedance in a sample, two attributes which make it a promising candidate for investigation in peripheral nerve interface applications. In nerve cuffs for control of advanced robotic …

Neural prosthetics for paralysis : algorithms and low-power analog architectures for decoding neural signals
… system developed in the present work interprets neural signals from the parietal cortex encoding arm movement intention, suggesting that the system could function as the decoder in a neural prosthetic limb, potentially enabling a paralyzed person to control an artificial limb just as the natural …

Design and fabrication of a microneedle for the implantation of floating microstimulators
Neural prosthetics are used to stimulate any remaining functional nervous tissue in order to restore function in visual, auditory, or other physiological components associated with the nervous system. Microelectrodes have been used in stimulating and detecting electrical activity in neurons. When …

An embodied, platform-invariant architecture for robotic spatial commands
… reprogramming, and human-robot-interaction, and neural prosthetics, conveying spatial commands to a robotic platform is often a limiting factor. Currently, many applications rely on joint-angle-by-joint-angle prescriptions. This inherently requires a large number of parameters to be specified by …

Integrated Signal Demodulation, Data Conversion, and Packaging Strategies for a Wireless, Fully Implantable, Bidirectional Neural Interface
… to replace missing limbs following amputation. Neural prosthetics represents a promising research direction, with the potential to substantially improve the quality of life of amputees. Unlike commercial prostheses, which are typically controlled through EMG signals and therefore provide limited …

The Use of High-Density ECoG for Functional Mapping and Neural Decoding
… high-density ECoG in HFB can effectively drive a neural prosthetic to perform hand flexion/extension. Isometric hand squeezing was also studied. Strong correlations between the squeezing force and HFB modulations were discovered. However, subband power modulations were discovered to be only …

Biohybrid Neural Interfaces: Exploring the Role of Regional Astroglia in Neuronal Integration and Functionality
Biohybrid Neural Interfaces (BNIs) offer an innovative approach to neural implantation by incorporating living neurons and traditional neural implants. This creates a dynamic cellular environment that allows for more natural interactions with host neural tissues. Given that BNIs incorporate living …

Mana Motuhake Ringa: The non-invasive neural interface based artificial hand
… many attempts to restore hand function through neural prosthetics there is little to no credible solutions to regain it. This thesis presents methods to restore hand function based on the human grasping system and addresses key challenges in the practical application of those methods. The …
