Book excerpt: THIN-FILM NEURAL INTERFACES FOR BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE AND ELECTRORETINOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS Sanitta Thongpang Under the supervision of Associate Professor Justin C. Williams At the University of Wisconsin-Madison The brain, and more precisely the central nervous system (CNS), is an extremely complex organ responsible for controlling essential sensorimotor functions of the human body. These functions rely on nerves running all-throughout the organism, transporting the sensory information from the body towards the CNS and the motor information from the CNS to the muscles. However, when severed, these functions can be durably lost, provoking paralysis and significant loss of quality of life. Neuroprosthesis is a promising approach to allow the patient to regain some of the quality of life lost through the control of a computer directly from measuring brain activity. Unfortunately, current methods are either too invasive, risk a decrease of performance over time and require extreme precision to place (i.e. single-unit electrode) or non-invasive but imprecise and limited (e.g. electroencephalogram). Electrocorticogram interfaces (ECoG and micro-ECoG) have been developed to measure brain activity as close as possible to the neurons while minimizing invasivity and long-term effects. These are placed on between the cortex and the cranium and allow good improvements in signal quality and spatial resolution. Here, I present the improved electrode designs and fabrication methods for reliable micro-ECoG electrode arrays using flexible insulating materials such as polyimide and parylene C. Furthermore, we characterize the long-term effect of chronic implantation of the device both on the electrical and material properties as well as the biological response of the brain of the micro-ECoG arrays. In addition, leveraging recent developments in optogenetics, two-way neural interface devices were developed. By integrating these methods with cranial window imaging techniques, I demonstrated that very powerful tools for optimizing micro-ECoG electrode arrays, as well as answering fundamental biological question on the function of the brain, can be developed. Finally, the flexible thin-film bio-MEMS fabrication methods demonstrated were readily expanded to many other applications such as electroretinogram (ERG) recording.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of a BCI system depends as much on the system itself as on the user’s ability to produce distinctive EEG activity. BCI systems can be divided into two groups according to the placement of the electrodes used to detect and measure neurons firing in the brain. These groups are: invasive systems, electrodes are inserted directly into the cortex are used for single cell or multi unit recording, and electrocorticography (EcoG), electrodes are placed on the surface of the cortex (or dura); noninvasive systems, they are placed on the scalp and use electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG) to detect neuron activity. The book is basically divided into three parts. The first part of the book covers the basic concepts and overviews of Brain Computer Interface. The second part describes new theoretical developments of BCI systems. The third part covers views on real applications of BCI systems.

Download or read book New Frontiers in Brain written by Nawaz Mohamudally and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) sounds comparable to plugging a USB cable into a human brain with a laptop and accessing brain information. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. BCI is a multidisciplinary discipline with an exponential progress parallel to and with Artificial Intelligence for the past decades. Initially started with the Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis, BCI offers practical applications for cortical physiology today. Although BCI outcomes are more perceptible in medicine such as cognitive assessment, neurofeedback, and neuroprosthetic implants, it opens up amazing avenues for the business community through machine learning and robotics. Thought-to-text is one example of a hot topic in BCI. So, it is quite predictable to see BCI for individual usage given the current affordability of platforms for less technologically savvy users as well as BCI integrated within office automation productivity tools. The current trend is towards vulgarization for businesses benefits, by extension to the society at large. Thus, the interest in preparing a book on BCI. This book aims to compile and disseminate the latest research findings and best practices on how BCI is expanding the frontiers of knowledge in clinical practices, on the brain itself, and the underlying technologies.
Download or read book Brain Computer Interfaces in their ethical social and cultural contexts written by Gerd Grübler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the ethical, social and cultural contexts of interfacing brains and computers. It is intended for the interdisciplinary community of BCI stakeholders. Insofar, engineers, neuroscientists, psychologists, physicians, care-givers and also users and their relatives are concerned. For about the last twenty years brain-computer-interfaces (BCIs) have been investigated with increasing intensity and have in principle shown their potential to be useful tools in diagnostics, rehabilitation and assistive technology. The central promise of BCI technology is enabling severely impaired people in mobility, grasping, communication, and entertainment. Successful applications are for instance communication devices enabling locked-in patients in staying in contact with their environment, or prostheses enabling paralysed people in reaching and grasping.
