In this paper, a novel microelectrode array integrated with nanowire field-effect transistor
(FET) switches is developed for retinal prosthetic systems. Retinal prosthetic systems require …

Retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and
retinitis pigmentosa (RP) result in a progressive degeneration of photoreceptors in the retina …

Purpose Various materials have been proposed for reconstructing orbital fractures. The
materials used must meet certain criteria to ensure their suitability for restoring the structure …

In order to provide high-quality visual information to patients who have implanted retinal
prosthetic devices, the number of microelectrodes should be large. As the number of …

We developed a pillar-shaped microelectrode array (MEA) with varying heights for
enhancing the spherical conformity of fully implantable epiretinal prosthesis comprising a 3D …

Visual prostheses are now an available mobility aid for patients blinded by degenerative
retinal diseases. However, the spatial resolution of existing devices is still insufficient to …

This paper proposes a neural stimulation device integrated with a silicon nanowire (SiNW)-
based photodetection circuit for the activation of neurons with light. The proposed device is …
