SILICON ELECTRODES IN NON NEURAL PREPARATIONS: CARDIAC & PAPILLARY MUSCLE

被动式与主动式薄膜探针的技术发展 由NIH神经假体计划（NPP）资助， 在中心的资助下，开始分发探测器， 通过NPP。 这种关系导致了自然 我们的团队和其他神经网络之间的合作形成 假体研究员。 事实上，许多核电厂的工作报告 特别要求将探测器作为合同的一部分。 然而，应该指出的是，我们在这一领域的合作者是 不限于NPP，事实上，包括由 其他机构和行业。 探针目前用于 项目，包括开发和研究听觉 假体（使用鼓阶、蜗轴或耳蜗中的刺激 核），视觉假体（通过视网膜刺激），皮质 通过刺激运动假肢和膀胱控制 骶骨脊髓

Technology development for the passive and active thin-film probes is funded by the NIH Neural Prosthesis Program (NPP) and prior to funding of the Center, the distribution of probes was initiated through the NPP. This relationship has resulted in the natural formation of collaborations between our group and other Neural Prosthesis investigators. In fact, many NPP work statements specifically request that probes be utilized as part of the contract. It should be noted, however, that our collaborators in this area are not limited to the NPP and, in fact, include investigators funded by other agencies and in industry. Probes are currently being used in projects including development and studies of feasibility for auditory prostheses (using stimulation in scala tympani, modiolus or cochlear nucleus), visual prostheses (through retinal stimulation), cortical control of motor prostheses and bladder control through stimulation of the sacral spinal cord.
