This paper develops a wireless battery-free implantable device for selective vagus nerve stimulation, demonstrating reduced off-target effects in pigs and a human trial.

This study evaluates the long-term stability of silicone-encapsulated CMOS ICs in biofluid environments through 4.3 years of accelerated life testing, finding no insulation failures and limited failures at wire bonds.

The paper evaluates the long-term stability of implantable silicon-ICs, showing that PDMS coating prevents degradation while bare die ICs remain electrically stable for at least a year.

This paper demonstrates spatially-selective vagus nerve stimulation (sVNS) can target cardiac efferent fibers to decrease heart rate without stimulating afferent-related reflexes, improving precision and efficacy of neuromodulation for cardiac disease.
