The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to the development of an
inflammatory and fibrotic process—the foreign body reaction (FBR). Upon implantation into a …

Devices such as keyboards and touchscreens allow humans to communicate with
machines. Neural interfaces, which can provide a direct, electrical bridge between analogue …

Considerable scientific and technological efforts have been devoted to develop
neuroprostheses and hybrid bionic systems that link the human nervous system with …

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of bypassing damaged photoreceptors and electrically
stimulating the remaining viable retinal layers to provide limited visual input to patients who …

We have developed a three-dimensional silicon electrode array which provides 100
separate channels for neural recording in cortex. The device is manufactured using silicon …

Medical devices based on microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) platforms are currently
being proposed for a wide variety of implantable applications. However, biocompatibility …

Informational density and relative accessibility of the peripheral nervous system make it an
attractive site for therapeutic intervention. Electrode-based electrophysiological interfaces …

This paper reviews the field of biosensors in which the biological component consists of
living cells. One of the most important reasons for using living cells is to obtain functional …

In order to measure and record potentials and, hence, currents in the body, it is necessary to
provide some interface between the body and the electronic measuring apparatus. This …

Micromachining technologies were established to fabricate microelectrode arrays and
devices for interfacing parts of the central or peripheral nervous system in case of neuronal …
