Functional thin film polymers for biopassivation of neuroprosthetic implants
Neuroprosthetics is the investigation of methods to control external electronic devices utilizing recorded neuronal firing patterns. These investigations are crucial to the quality of life of quadriplegic patients. Central to this field is the ability to implant neural recording probes within the …

Biohybrid Peripheral Neural Interfaces: Combining Cell Transplantation and Flexible Electronics for Functional Neurological Restoration
… is very limited treatment for these conditions. Neuroprosthetics and cell transplantation are promising approaches to restore lost neurological function: the former aims to bypass the site of injury, connecting directly one part of the nervous system to another (or a prosthetic limb); while the …

An optical telemetry system for wireless transmission of biomedical signals across the skin
… This is particularly valuable in the field of neuroprosthetics, because it may be possible to implant an optical telemeter directly on the surface of the brain to make mechanically stable connections to microelectrode arrays for neuroelectric recordings. Miniature optical power panels (2.5 mm x …

Brain-Machine Interface for Reaching: Accounting for Target Size, Multiple Motor Plans, and Bimanual Coordination
<p>Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) offer the potential to assist millions of people worldwide suffering from immobility due to loss of limbs, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases. BMIs function by decoding neural activity from intact cortical brain regions in order to control external devices …
