TL;DR: An original bio-inspired assistive technology for real-time ventilation assistance, implemented in a digital configurable Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), which optimizes the FPGA resource and time costs while harnessing the computational power of spike-based neuromorphic hardware.

TL;DR: A neuro-rehabilitative approach that leverages locomotor training with multi-segmental spinal cord transcutaneous electrical stimulation (scTS) results in a convergence of cross-lesional networks, improving kinematics during voluntary non-weight-bearing locomotor-like stepping.

TL;DR: An adaptive, closed-loop, neuromorphic, pattern-shaping controller capable of automatically determining a suitable stimulation pattern and adapting it to maintain a desired breath volume profile on a breath-by-breath basis is developed.

TL;DR: Primary in vivo results show successful drive of respiratory muscles stimulation using a computer-based dedicated controller, and a fully configurable IC-centered stimulator designed to investigate muscle stimulation paradigms.

TL;DR: In this paper , spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) was used to improve the lower urinary tract (LUT) activity and facilitate the initiation of voiding in seven individuals with motor complete spinal cord injury.
