The human thalamus projects nerve fibers to all cortical regions and propagates epileptic activity. However, opportunities to directly record thalamic and cortical neural activities simultaneously are ...

In brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and other neural implant systems, electrodes serve as the critical interface and are core sensors linking electronic devices with biological nervous systems. Most ...

A University of Houston engineering professor is warning that implanted cuff electrodes—widely used in therapy for epilepsy, depression and inflammatory disorders—could trigger unintended nerve ...

The electrode to auditory nerve interface (ENI) is often considered a bottleneck for information transmission for listeners using a cochlear implant (CI). Clinically, it could be beneficial to have a ...

A research group from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at Toyohashi University of Technology developed an innovative in vivo electrophysiological ...

A trial enrolled nine individuals with PTSD and used a next-generation miniaturized system to deliver vagus nerve stimulation ...

The durability of communication with the use of brain–computer interfaces in persons with progressive neurodegenerative disease has not been extensively examined. We report on 7 years of independent ...

The use of cochlear implants to treat children and adults with severe sensorineural hearing loss has made "incredible progress" over recent years, according to Christopher Bohr, MD, PhD, director of ...

Inspire Medical Systems has issued a recall for the Inspire IV Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) Model 3028 because of a manufacturing defect that could disrupt therapy and cause serious adverse ...

A U.S. neurotechnology startup called Paradromics is gaining momentum in the fast-growing field of brain-computer interfaces. The FDA has approved its first human trial built to test whether its fully ...
