Biological systems are able to perform movements in unpredictable environments more
elegantly than traditionally engineered robotic systems. A current limitation of robotic systems is …

Numerous applications in neuroscience research and neural prosthetics, such as
electrocorticogram (ECoG) recording and retinal prosthesis, involve electrical interactions with soft …

Analog very large-scale integrated (VLSI) technology can be used not only to study and
simulate biological systems, but also to emulate them in designing artificial sensory systems. A …

We have designed, fabricated, and tested an analog integrated-circuit architecture to
implement the conductance-based dynamics that model the electrical activity of neurons. The …

A new, scalable process for microfabrication of a silicone-based, elastic multi-electrode
array (MEA) is presented. The device is constructed by spinning poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) …

The ability to control compliance of robotic joints is desirable because the resulting robotic
mechanisms can adapt to varying task requirements and can take advantage of natural limb …

To fully exploit the recording capabilities provided by current and future generations of multi-electrode
arrays, some means to eliminate the residual charge and subsequent artifacts …

The complexity of analog VLSI systems is often limited by the number of pins on a chip
rather than by the die area. Currently, many analog parameters and biases are stored off-chip. …

Postural control may be an ideal physiological motor task for elucidating general questions
about the organization, diversity, flexibility, and variability of biological motor behaviors using …

Precision electronics that provide multi-electrode stimulation and recording capabilities are
an important tool for the experimental study of neuronal development and plasticity. Towards …
