This paper presents long-term stable multichannel recording of neural activity using novel intracortical floating probes implanted chronically in rat cortex. The novel flexible probe design approach allows recording of action potentials for at least...
Nowadays, the majority of the progress in the development of implantable neuroprostheses has been achieved by improving the knowledge of brain functions so as to restore sensorial impairments. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) is a widely used te...
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) is a promising approach for visual prostheses. We recently proposed using retinal neuromorphic spike trains derived from visual images as ICMS pulse sequences, and preliminarily recorded cortical voltage-sensitiv...
This study investigates rhythmic jaw movement (RJM) patterns and masticatory muscle activities during electrical stimulation in two cortical masticatory areas in obese male Zucker rats (OZRs), compared to their counterparts—lean male Zucker rat...
The forebrain somatic sensory locus for input from sensors on the surface of an active prosthesis is an important component of the Brain Machine Interface. We now review the neuronal responses to controlled cutaneous stimuli and the sensations produc...
We demonstrate a method of neurostimulation using implanted, free-floating, inter-neural diodes. They are activated by volume-conducted, high frequency, alternating current (AC) fields and address the issue of instability caused by interconnect wires...
The pigeon robot has attracted significant attention in the field of animal robotics thanks to its outstanding mobility and adaptive capability in complex environments. However, research on pigeon robots is currently facing bottlenecks, and achieving...
Complex avian locomotor behaviors depend on the coordinated operation of neural processes involved in sensory perception, decision-making, and motor execution. Exogenous neural stimulation can alter motor output by intervening in neural processes, bu...
In reading, text difficulties increase the duration of eye fixation and the frequency of refixation and regression. The present article reviews previous attempts to quantify these effects based on the frequency of effect theory (FET), and links these...
Advancing the understanding of the relationship between perinatal nicotine addiction and the reward mechanism of the brain is crucial for uncovering and implementing new treatments for addiction control and prevention. The mesolimbic pathway of the b...
Spinal cord electrical (SCS) stimulation alleviates motor deficits in rodent and primate models of Parkinson’s disease due to a suppression of synchronous corticostriatal low-frequency oscillation. Limited epidural space requires resistant bioc...
Each application of neurostimulators requires unique stimulation parameter specifications to achieve effective stimulation. Balancing the current magnitude with stimulation resolution, waveform, size, and channel count is challenging, leading to a lo...
