1. 1. Developing a method for insertion of soft neural probes into peripheral nerves

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Klara Melander; [2022]
   Keywords : Intraneural stimulation; insertion method; peripheral nerve; nerve phantom; peripheral nerve stimulation; Teknisk biologi; Teknisk biologi;

   Abstract : The main objective of this project was to develop a method for soft neural probe insertion into a nerve. These soft probes are made of a silicon elastomer that is a few orders of magnitude less stiff than the nerve, which makes the insertion process particularly challenging. READ MORE

3. 2. An investigation of the relationships between electrotactile stimulus parameters, primary afferent response, and perceived sensation

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Jessica Sofie Louise Vidmark; [2018]
   Keywords : electrotactile stimulation; psychophysical sensation; primary afferent response; sensory feedback; prosthetics; elektrisk hudstimulering; psykofysisk respons; primärafferent respons; sensorisk återkoppling; proteser;
