A voltage-controlled current source with regulated electrode bias-voltage for safe neural stimulation.

Abstract:

:A current source for neural stimulation is presented which converts arbitrary voltage signals to current-controlled signals while regulating the offset-voltage across the stimulation electrodes in order to keep the electrodes in an electrochemical state that allows for injecting a maximum charge. The offset-voltage can either be set to 0V or to a bias-voltage, e.g. of a few 100mV, as it can be advantageous for fully exploiting the charge injection capacity of iridium oxide electrodes.

  • Using double-magnetic induction to measure head-unrestrained gaze shifts. I. Theory and validation.

    abstract::So far, the double-magnetic induction (DMI) method has been successfully applied to record eye movements from head-restrained humans, monkeys and cats. An advantage of the DMI method, compared to the more widely used scleral search coil technique, is the absence of vulnerable lead wires on the eye. A disadvantage, how...
