Neural Prostheses
A neural prosthesis is a device that aims to restore or replace the functions of the nervous system that are lost to disease or injury. Examples include devices to improve hearing, vision, motor and cognitive functions. Neural prostheses artificially stimulate the nervous system to convey sensory information, activate paralysed muscles or modulate the excitability of neural circuits to improve ...
متن کاملDeveloping stem cell-based therapies for neural repair
Current pharmacotherapies and surgical intervention provide limited benefit in the treatment of neural injuries or halting disease progression. Significant advances in the area of stem cell biology in the last decade has lead to a special emphasis on the success of stem cell-based applications for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions. The properties of stem cells render them a...
متن کاملNeural control of motor prostheses.
Neural interfaces (NIs) for motor control have recently become increasingly advanced. This has been possible owing to substantial progress in our understanding of the cortical motor system as well as the development of appropriate decoding methods in both non-human primates and paralyzed patients. So far, neural interfaces have controlled mainly computer screens and robotic arms. An important a...

Cortical Microstimulation for Neural Prostheses
متن کاملPerformance sustaining intracortical neural prostheses.
OBJECTIVE Neural prostheses, or brain-machine interfaces, aim to restore efficient communication and movement ability to those suffering from paralysis. A major challenge these systems face is robust performance, particularly with aging signal sources. The aim in this study was to develop a neural prosthesis that could sustain high performance in spite of signal instability while still minimizi...
