Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Initial results for a tetraplegic human using a pilot NMP suggest that NMPs based upon intracortical neuronal ensemble spiking activity could provide a valuable new neurotechnology to restore independence for humans with paralysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective stimulation of cat sciatic nerve using an array of varying-length microelectrodes.
TL;DR: The Utah Slanted Electrode Array was evaluated in acute experiments in cat sciatic nerve and it was concluded that the USEA permits more selective stimulation at much lower current intensities with more graded recruitment of individual muscles than is achieved by conventional cuff electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term stimulation and recording with a penetrating microelectrode array in cat sciatic nerve
TL;DR: It was shown that surgical technique highly affected the long-term stimulation results, and in the best case, the stimulation properties stabilized in 80% of the electrodes over the course of the experiment (162 days).
Journal ArticleDOI
A multielectrode array for intrafascicular recording and stimulation in sciatic nerve of cats.

TL;DR: High density arrays of electrodes can be inserted into the peripheral nerve and can provide a stable recording and stimulating interface to individual peripheral nerve axons and may be useful in future neuroscience research and potential neuroprosthetic applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for an improved biological interface system that processes multicellular signals of a patient and controls one or more devices is described, which may include improved communication, self-diagnostics, and surgical insertion tools.
