  2. Brain implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_implant

    Much research is also being done on the surface chemistry of neural implants in effort to design products which minimize all negative effects that an active implant can have on the brain, and that the body can have on the function of the implant. Another type of neural implant that is being experimented on is prosthetic neuronal memory silicon ...

  3. Neuroprosthetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroprosthetics

    Neuroprosthetics (also called neural prosthetics) is a discipline related to neuroscience and biomedical engineering concerned with developing neural prostheses. They are sometimes contrasted with a brain–computer interface , which connects the brain to a computer rather than a device meant to replace missing biological functionality.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

    [50] [51] Clinical neural implants such as cochlear implants to restore hearing, retinal implants to restore sight, spinal cord stimulators for pain relief or cardiac pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are proposed examples of electroceuticals. [50]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation

    The IPG is a battery-powered neurostimulator encased in a titanium housing, which sends electrical pulses to the brain that interfere with neural activity at the target site. The leads are two coiled wires insulated in polyurethane with four platinum-iridium electrodes that allow delivery of electric charge from the battery back implanted in ...

  9. Hippocampal prosthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocampal_prosthesis

    Unlike other prostheses, infection is a much greater issue for neural implant, due to the sensitivity of the brain; therefore an external power source is not envisagable. Because the brain is also highly heat sensitive, the power and the device itself must not generate too much heat to avoid disrupting brain function.
