Research Grant 3.4590.02 from the Foundation for Medical Scientific Research, French Community of Belgium has been awarded for the project : " Theorical and experimental study of the artificial neural activation using a nerve electrode".
This study addressed the issue of artificial neural activation using a nerve electrode. Among the aims of this theoretical and experimental project were considered :
1) the development of spiral cuff electrodes including a large number of contacts and their exploitation using suitable stimulation or recording algorithms (this implies simulation methods using numerical models and fiber models, as well as modeling of the "current source - electrode - nerve" ensemble; and
2) the biomedical experimental validation of these multi-contact electrodes and algorithms, on animal and humans.
GREN's personnel involved in this project included :
Medhy Oozeer
Prof. Claude Veraart
Valérie Vince
This artificial nerve stimulation project is linked to other previous research activities in the lab: the MiViP and OPTIVIP ,the NEURALPRO , the SENS and the VISION projects.
Subsequent developments in the field of artificial nerve stimulation were carried out in the frame of the ADVENS and IMANE projects.
