Objectives
Improved residual peripheral nerve stimulation by means of novel soft intraneural electrodes. The fellow will
develop new soft electrodes (based on PDMS or polyimide) to improve coupling between neural tissue and stimulating
electrodes. He/she will specifically target biocompatibility, information transfer, durability, minimising tissue reaction and
encapsulation, similarly to what previously published in Wurth et al., Biomaterials, 2017.
Expected Results
Novel soft intraneural electrode integrated on prosthetic devices and used to convey sensory feedback
Planned Secondments
-
to learn non-invasive stimulation techniques
-
to test the electrodes
and learn recording and stimulation techniques
