Abstract

This paper presents an architecture for sensing nerve signals and delivering functional electrical stimulation to peripheral and visceral nerves. The design is based on the very large scale integration (VLSI) technology and amenable to interface to microelectrodes and building a fully implantable system. The proposed stimulator was tested on the vagus nerve and is under further evaluation and testing of various visceral nerves and their functional effects on the innervated organs.

摘要

本文介绍了一种用于感知神经信号并向周围神经和内脏神经传递功能性电刺激的架构。该设计基于超大规模集成（VLSI）技术，适用于与微电极接口并构建完全可植入系统。所提出的刺激器已在迷走神经上进行了测试，目前正在对各种内脏神经及其对受支配器官的功能影响进行进一步评估和测试。
