The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to the development of an
inflammatory and fibrotic process—the foreign body reaction (FBR). Upon implantation into a …

Commercial prosthetic devices currently do not provide natural sensory information on the
interaction with objects or movements. The subsequent disadvantages include …

Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury
can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the …

The nervous system poses a grand challenge for integration with modern electronics and
the subsequent advances in neurobiology, neuroprosthetics, and therapy which would …

Electrocorticography (ECoG) is a minimally invasive approach frequently used clinically to
map epileptogenic regions of the brain and facilitate lesion resection surgery and …

The nervous system maintains homeostasis and health. Homeostatic disruptions underlying
the pathobiology of many diseases can be controlled by bioelectronic devices targeting CNS …

Polyimides (PIs) represent a benchmark for high-performance polymers on the basis of a
