Demonstration of a Robust All-Silicon-Carbide Intracortical Neural Interface

Observation of Shear Wave Generation at Bonded Silicon- Carbide Interface

The drive toward higher efficiencies and performance in energy production and transportation equipment has posed a continual challenge for the materials scientists and engineers involved in design and construction of such equipment. The laws of thermodynamics specify that increased efficiency can best be achieved by the use of the highest possible temperatures. As the desired operating temperat...

Neural control of finger movement via intracortical brain-machine interface.

OBJECTIVE Intracortical brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are a promising source of prosthesis control signals for individuals with severe motor disabilities. Previous BMI studies have primarily focused on predicting and controlling whole-arm movements; precise control of hand kinematics, however, has not been fully demonstrated. Here, we investigate the continuous decoding of precise finger move...
