Artifact Control and Miniaturization of the Safe DC Stimulator for Neural Prostheses

Safe DC Stimulator for Neural ProsthesesJHU Ref #: [C11822] Unmet NeedCurrently, neural prostheses are limited because they excite neurons but cannot efficiently inhibit them. Direct current (DC) can excite, inhibit, or control extracellular potential of target neurons, but DC stimulation is biologically unsafe. The current solution is to direct DC...

Neural Stimulation Alters Native Sensory Perception

Unmet NeedElectrical stimulation to the brain is a new emerging field of research with great potential. As neurons within the brain communicate through electrical charges, the ability to manipulate the delivery of such electrical charges through a stimulation machine may be beneficial for neuro-rehabilitation. Examples of such efforts already underway...

Safe Direct Current Stimulator Design for Reduced Power and Increased Reliability

Unmet NeedNeuroprostheses, such as cochlear implants and neural pacemakers, have already been proven to be useful in varying applications. Current neuroprostheses tools typically employ biphasic pulsatile stimulation, a process where electrodes have both a cathodic phase and an anodic phase to pass charge in both directions. Direct current (DC) has...

Nerve-sparing Surgical Guidance Using Neuromodulation-based Nerve Localization

Unmet NeedGlobally, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death in men. In the U.S., prostate cancer is the most common and diagnosed cancer in males. It is estimated there are 2.5 million men living with prostate cancer in the US, and the number is on the rise. The survival of prostate...

Initial Proof-of-Concept of Photoacoustic Neural Stimulation; A Potential Approach to Retinal Stimulation: Preliminary In Vitro Study

Unmet NeedNon-cataract related vision loss affects 22.9 million people worldwide. Many of these patients retain partial functionality in their retinas; even though their outer retinas no longer function, visual stimulation can be achieved by sending messages from the inner retinas through the optic nerves. Present efforts to restore vision to these...
