This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The long-term goal in the design of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) is to restore communication and control of prosthetic devices to individuals with loss of motor function due to spinal cord injuries, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or muscular dystrophy, for example. One of the great challenges in this effort is to develop implantable systems that are capable of processing the activity of large ensembles of cortical neurons. This work presents the design, fabrication, characterization, and in vivo testing of a neural recording platform for a pre-clinical application. The recording platform is a flexible, polyimide-based microelectrode array that can be hybrid-packaged with custom electronics in a fully-implantable form factor. Results from the microelectrode array integrated with an amplifier integrated circuit include data from in vivo neural recordings showing consistent single-unit discrimination over 42 days. Moreover, results from the electrochemical assessment of the corrosion properties of the tungsten microwire electrodes used on the microelectrode array admonish the use of tungsten in long-term implants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural electrodes enable the recording and stimulation of bioelectrical activity in the nervous system. This technology provides neuroscientists with the means to probe the functionality of neural circuitry in both health and disease. In addition, neural electrodes can deliver therapeutic stimulation for the relief of debilitating symptoms associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and may serve as the basis for the restoration of sensory perception through peripheral nerve and brain regions after disease or injury. Lastly, microscale neural electrodes recording signals associated with volitional movement in paralyzed individuals can be decoded for controlling external devices and prosthetic limbs or driving the stimulation of paralyzed muscles for functional movements. In spite of the promise of neural electrodes for a range of applications, chronic performance remains a goal for long-term basic science studies, as well as clinical applications. New perspectives and opportunities from fields including tissue biomechanics, materials science, and biological mechanisms of inflammation and neurodegeneration are critical to advances in neural electrode technology. This Special Issue will address the state-of-the-art knowledge and emerging opportunities for the development and demonstration of advanced neural electrodes.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrocorticography (ECoG) arrays are used in clinical mapping for neurosurgical resection and hold the promise for less damaging brain-machine interfaces. Current clinical ECoG electrodes face physical limits to the number of contact sites, spatial resolution (centimeter scale), and contact diameter (millimeter scale), and thus cannot resolve the dynamically changing neural activity over sub-millimeter scales . In addition to these practical limitations, current clinical electrode arrays are constrained to non-conformal electrode-carriers/substrates and to less-optimal metal electrochemical interfaces. Increasing the flexibility of clinical electrodes may lead to higher signal-to-noise ratios as well as higher spatial specificity and this also requires overcoming substantial physical barriers due to the compromised metal electrochemical interface properties. The objectives of this thesis, described in seven chapters, are to develop high performance, safe, and durable neural electrode interfaces to yield stable, high signal-to-noise ratio cortical recordings in animal models as well as in humans. In the second chapter, we demonstrate that sterilization of PEDOT:PSS electrophysiology devices can be performed using an autoclave. We find that autoclaving is a viable sterilization method, leaving morphology unaltered and causing only minor changes in electrical properties. These results pave the way for the widespread utilization of PEDOT:PSS electrophysiology devices in the clinic. In the third chapter, we translate the use of robust PEDOT:PSS microelectrode arrays for safe intraoperative monitoring of the human brain. PEDOT:PSS micro-electrodes measured significant differential neural modulation under various clinically relevant conditions. We report the first evoked (stimulus-locked) cognitive activity with changes in amplitude across pial surface distances as small as 400 [mu]m, potentially enabling basic neurophysiology studies at the scale of neural micro-circuitry. In the fourth and fifth chapters, we present the first systematic study of scaling effects on the electrochemical properties of Pt and Au metallic and PEDOT:PSS organic electrodes from neural recording and stimulation perspectives. PEDOT:PSS coating reduced the impedances of metallic electrodes by up to 18X. The overall reduced noise of the PEDOT:PSS microelectrodes enable a lower noise floor for recording action-potentials with high fidelity. We observed a substantial enhancement in charge injection capacity up to 9.5X for PEDOT:PSS microelectrodes compared to metal ones and 88% lower required power for injecting the same charge density. These results permit quantitative optimization of contact material and diameter for different ECoG applications. In the sixth chapter, We report an effective method of mechanically anchoring the PEDOT within the Au nanorod (Au-nr) structure and demonstrate that it provides enhanced adhesion and overall PEDOT layer stability under various electrochemical (charge injection) and In vivo stability tests. In the seventh chapter, we report the fabrication of pure Pt nanorods (PtNRs) by utilizing low-temperature selective dealloying to develop scalable and biocompatible 1D platinum nanorod (PtNR) arrays that exhibit superb electrochemical properties at various length scales for high-performance neurotechnologies. PtNR arrays record brain activity with cellular resolution from the cortical surfaces in birds, mice, and non-human primates; demonstrating the PtNR microelectrode system as a robust system for high performance and stable neural electrode interfaces.
