We have developed electrodes with a novel annular geometry for use in cortical visual prostheses.

We implanted single electrodes into the motor cortex of anesthetized rats and measured the current required to evoke a motor response to stimulation, and the charge injection capacity (CIC) of the electrodes. We compared platinum iridium (PtIr) electrodes with different annulus heights, with and without a coating of porous titanium nitride (TiN). Threshold charge densities to evoke a motor response ranged from 12 to 36 μC.cm(-2).ph(-1). Electrodes with larger geometric surface areas (GSAs) required higher currents to evoke responses, but lower charge densities. The addition of a porous TiN coating did not significantly influence the current required to evoke a motor response. The CIC of both electrode types was significantly reduced in vivo compared with in vitro measurements. The measured CIC was 72 and 18 μC.cm(-2).ph(-1) for electrodes with and without a TiN coating, respectively.

(2014) adds to the three generally agreed-on features for biocompatibility (bio-safety, bio-stability, and bio-functionality) with a fourth one that mirrors the demand for “bio-tolerability.” Sommakia et al. (2014a) study aims to reduce the almost-immediate adsorption of non-cellular tissue components upon insertion by dip-coating polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a “stealth” cover. It points toward a beneficial alteration of adsorption on the probe, but cautions PEG's immediate use for long term implants in the brain. In fact, in a second contribution based on a mixed-brain culture (Sommakia et al., 2014b), they show evidence for a complex response of glia cells on micro-wires dip-coated with PEG and/or lipopolysaccharides (LPS), but not of neurons, which is somewhat contradictory to pure in vivo findings. \u0000 \u0000In the same context of passive probe coatings, De Faveri et al. (2014) moved toward a more “natural” method by coating glass-insulated micro-wires with fibrin hydrogel, as a biological cushion between brain and probe. Using immunofluorescence techniques, they were able to demonstrate a beneficial effect on longer term astrocytic responses and successful encapsulation of brain cells in fibrin as in Richter (2012). \u0000 \u0000Beyond the modulatory effects of passive surface coatings, two articles review organic coatings for micro-contacts in the nervous system. The contribution by Asplund et al. (2014) concisely reviews electrodes based on conductive polymers, not only for improving site-tissue coupling, but also for electrically eluting anti-inflammatory drugs using various stimulation patterns. They go to great depth on how to apply this elution process to a living being, since the active elution technique inherently requires compliance with demanding bio-compatibility issues. \u0000 \u0000The review of Aregueta-Robles et al. (2014) addresses the topic of organic and nanoscopic coatings with a wider perspective, and thus provides an excellent overview regarding a huge variety of the various reported approaches including the “living electrode” of Ochiai et al.

(2014) investigate whether the brain's foreign body response is the sole cause for poor electrode yield using Pt/Ir micro wire arrays. They state that leading aspects include the suboptimal construction of the micro wires, as well as the severing of the blood brain barrier upon insertion.

These findings are subsequently verified using in vitro experiments in which the response of a Purkinje cell is measured due to a stimulation signal in the molecular layer of the cerebellum of a mouse. For this purpose a stimulator circuit is developed that is able to produce a monophasic high frequency switched-mode stimulation signal. The results confirm the modeling by showing that switched-mode stimulation is able to induce similar responses in the Purkinje cell as classical stimulation using a constant current source.

BCI can be used to replace, restore, enhance, supplement, or improve natural Central Neural System (CNS) output (Wolpaw and Wolpaw, 2012). \u0000 \u0000A common denominator for all BCI patient groups is that they suffer from a neurological deficit. As a consequence, BCI systems in clinical and research settings operate with control signals (brain waves) that could be substantially altered compared to brain waves of able-bodied individuals. Most BCI systems are built and tested on able-bodied individuals, being insufficiently robust for clinical applications. The main reason for this is a lack of systematic analysis on how different neurological problems affect the BCI performance. \u0000 \u0000This special issue highlights interaction of BCI systems with the underlying neurological problems and how performance of these BCI system differ compared to similar systems tested on healthy individuals. The issue presents 4 reviews (Friedrich et al., 2014; Pineda et al., 2014; Priftis, 2014; Rupp, 2014) and 8 experimental studies (Ang et al., 2014; Daly et al., 2014; Ono et al., 2014; Song et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2014; Young et al., 2014a,b,c). It covers studies on five different patient groups: stroke (Ang et al., 2014; Ono et al., 2014; Song et al., 2014; Young et al., 2014a,b,c), spinal cord injury (SCI) (Rupp, 2014; Xu et al., 2014), autism (Friedrich et al., 2014; Pineda et al., 2014), cerebral palsy (CP) (Daly et al., 2014) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (Priftis, 2014). Three different types of BCI are presented: motor imagery, P300 and neurofeedback (operant conditioning). In the presented papers, BCI has been used either on its own or in a combination with an external device such as a robot or a functional electrical stimulation (FES). \u0000 \u0000Review papers discuss several possible applications of BCI including methods to replace (Priftis, 2014; Rupp, 2014), restore (Rupp, 2014) and improve (Friedrich et al., 2014; Pineda et al., 2014; Rupp, 2014) natural CNP output. Several experimental studies in this special issue present BCI applications to improve and restore CNP functions (Ang et al., 2014; Ono et al., 2014; Young et al., 2014a,b) while some present basic research papers looking into the effect of BCI training on the cortical activity (Song et al., 2014; Young et al., 2014b,c) or exploring EEG signature characteristic for a certain patient group, such as SCI or CP (Daly et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2014). \u0000 \u0000In two review articles Pineda et al. and Friedrich et al. look into the application of BCI on a relatively novel group of patients, autistic children, who show deficits in social and communicative skills, including imitation, empathy, and shared attention, as well as restricted interests and repetitive patterns of behaviors.

We also use dip-coated polyethylene glycol (PEG), which we have previously shown can modulate impedance changes to neural microelectrodes, to control the cellular responses. We find that microglia, as expected, exhibit an elevated response to LPS-coated microwire for distances of up to 150 μm, and that this elevated response can be mitigated by co-depositing PEG with LPS. Astrocytes exhibit a more complex, distance-dependent response, whereas neurons do not appear to be affected by the type or magnitude of glial response within this in vitro model. The discrepancy between our in vitro responses and typically observed in vivo responses suggest the importance of using a systems approach to understand the responses of the various brain cell types in a chronic in vivo setting, as well as the necessity of studying the roles of cell types not native to the brain.

The overall system consisted of three major subunits: a 5.0 × 5.0 mm CMOS IC chip, a reconfigurable logic device (field-programmable gate array, FPGA), and a PC. To test the system, microelectrode arrays (MEAs) were used to extracellularly measure the activity of cultured rat cortical neurons and mouse cortical slices. The MEA had 64 bidirectional (stimulation and recording) electrodes. In addition, the CMOS IC chip was equipped with dedicated analog filters, amplification stages, and a stimulation buffer. Signals from the electrodes were sampled at 15.6 kHz with 16-bit resolution. The measured input-referred circuitry noise was 10.1 μ V root mean square (10 Hz to 100 kHz), which allowed reliable detection of neural signals ranging from several millivolts down to approximately 33 μ Vpp. Experiments were performed involving the stimulation of neurons with several spatiotemporal patterns and the recording of the triggered activity. An advantage over current MEAs, as demonstrated by our experiments, includes the ability to stimulate (voltage stimulation, 5-bit resolution) spatiotemporal patterns in arbitrary subsets of electrodes. Furthermore, the fast stimulation reset mechanism allowed us to record neuronal signals from a stimulating electrode around 3 ms after stimulation.
