Metal electrode materials used in active implantable devices are often associated with poor
long-term stimulation and recording performance. Modification of these materials with …

The concept of an electronic visual prosthesis has been investigated since the early 20th
century. While the first generation of long-term implantable devices were defined by the turn …

Bioactive coatings for neural electrodes that are tailored for cell interactions have the
potential to produce superior implants with improved charge transfer capabilities. In this …

Objective. Recent interest in the use of conducting polymers (CPs) for neural stimulation
electrodes has been growing; however, concerns remain regarding the stability of coatings …

Prosthetic vision is being applied to partially recover the retinal stimulation of visually
impaired people. However, the phosphenic images produced by the implants have very …

Purpose.: Research to restore some degree of vision to patients suffering from retinal
degeneration is becoming increasingly more promising. Several groups have chosen …

Bioelectrodes for neural recording and neurostimulation are an integral component of a
number of neuroprosthetic devices, including the commercially available cochlear implant …

A clinically effective retinal prosthesis must evoke localized phosphenes in a retinotopic
manner in response to stimulation of each of the retinal electrodes, evoke brightness cues …

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) can be incorporated into conductive polymers to
produce superior materials for neural interfaces with high interfacial areas, conductivity and …

Objective. Visual prostheses are designed to restore partial functional vision in patients with
total vision loss. Retinal visual prostheses provide limited capabilities as a result of low …
