Neural prostheses have already a long history and yet the cochlear implant remains the only
success story about a longterm sensory function restoration. On the other hand, neural …

Intraneural interfaces are stimulation/registration devices designed to couple the peripheral
nervous system (PNS) with the environment. Over the last years, their use has increased in a …

In this survey, we present many of the fractional-order circuit models used in biomedicine
and biology to fit experimentally collected impedance data. An overview of the different …

For nearly 55 years, tungsten microwires have been widely used in neurophysiological
experiments in animal models to chronically record neuronal activity. While tungsten …

The function of chronic brain machine interfaces depends on stable electrical contact
between neurons and electrodes. A key step in the development of interfaces is therefore to …

Pt/Ir electrodes have been extensively used in neurophysiology research in recent years as
they provide a more inert recording surface as compared to tungsten or stainless steel …

Long-term acquisition of high-quality neural recordings is a cornerstone of neuroprosthetic
system design. Mitigating the experimental variability of chronically implanted arrays has …

Objective. Brain tissue undergoes dramatic molecular and cellular remodeling at the implant–
tissue interface that evolves over a period of weeks after implantation. The biomechanical …

A key to successful chronic neural interfacing is to achieve minimal glial scarring
surrounding the implants, as the astrocytes and microglia may functionally insulate the …

Objective. To quantify relations between the neuronal activity recorded with chronically-
implanted intracortical microelectrodes and the histology of the surrounding tissue, using …
