2. 1. A novel implantable ultra-flexible brain machine interface. Manufacturing and initial characterisations

   Author : Fotios Tsanakalis; Neuronano Research Center (NRC); []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brain-Machine Interfaces; BMIs; Neural Interfaces; Electrodes;

   Abstract : This thesis describes for the very first time the development of a miniaturized neural interface which is flexible in three dimensions (3D) to enable it to follow the brain movements with minimal dislocation. Both the design rationale and the material choice for the electrodes aim to develop interfaces that minimize the damage and/or the irritation of the tissue during and after the implantation.

4. 2. Signal Modeling and Data Reduction for Wireless Brain-Machine Interfaces

   Author : Palmi Thor Thorbergsson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular neural recordings; wireless brain-machine interfaces; signal modeling; data reduction; compression;

   Abstract : Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) provide a uni- or bidirectional communication link between the central nervous system and the outside world. This link facilitates the studying of neuronal mechanisms underlying behavior as well as the treatment of neurological disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Stimulating the Brain : Ethical Perspectives on Deep Brain Stimulation & Nano Scaled Brain Machine Interfaces

   Author : Veronica Johansson; Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses some of the ethical concerns raised by connecting man and machine through so called Brain-Machine Interfaces, BMIs, elaborate brain implants that may both further our knowledge of the brain and alleviate neurological dysfunction and impairments. The primary foci have been to address urgent and prominent concerns elicited by BMIs; to critically evaluate arguments relevant to an ethical analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation, DBS; and to address and develop ignored or underrepresented perspectives of importance in an ethical analysis of DBS.

6. 4. A tailored biocompatible neural interface for long term monitoring in neural networks

   Author : Per Köhler; Neuronano Research Center (NRC); []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brain-machine interfaces; neuroinflammation; somatosensory cortex; hyperalgesia; allodynia;

   Abstract : Neural interface electrodes that can record from neurons in the brain for long periods of time will be of great importance to unravel how the brain accomplishes its functions. However, current electrodes usually cause significant glia reactions and loss of neurons within the adjacent brain parenchyma. READ MORE
