Microelectrode Brain-machine Interface
INTRODUCTION Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition that affects over 250,000 people in the United States [1]. It results in paraplegia (paralysis of the lower limbs) or in tetraplegia (paralysis of the body below the neck) depending on where along the spinal column is affected [2]. It can result from either a physical injury to the head or spine or can be caused by a degenerative...
متن کاملFlexible three-dimensional microelectrode array for neural applications
A neural electrode array design is proposed with 3 mm long sharpened pillars made from an aluminumbased substrate. The array is composed by 25 electrically insulated pillars in a 5 x 5 matrix, in which each aluminum pillar was precisely machined via dicing saw technique. The result is an aluminum structure with high-aspect-ratio pillars (19:1), each with a tip radius of 10 μm. A thin-film of pl...
متن کاملVisualization of the intact interface between neural tissue and implanted microelectrode arrays.
This research presents immunohistochemical strategies for assessing the interactions at the immediate interface between micro-scale implanted devices and the surrounding brain tissue during inflammatory astrogliotic reactions. This includes preparation, microscopy and analysis techniques for obtaining images of the intimate contact between neural cells and the surface of implantable micro-elect...
متن کاملElectrical modeling of the cell-electrode interface for recording neural activity from high-density microelectrode arrays
Accurate electrical models are needed to support the design of modern microelectrode arrays. The point-contact model is presented thoroughly, and an area-contact model is analytically derived in order to model the electrical characteristics of the cell–electrode interface at subcellular resolution. An optimum electrode diameter for recording the electrical activity of neurons is analytically de...
متن کاملNeural Human Machine Interface and Its Neural Human Machine Interface and Its Applications
Electroencephalogram is a powerful non-invasive tool widely used by for both medical diagnosis and neurobiological research because it provides high temporal resolution in milliseconds which directly reflects the dynamics of the generating cell assemblies, and it is the only brain imaging modality that does not require the head/body to be fixed. However, the lack of availability of EEG monitori...
