This paper introduces Braincodec, a deep encoder that improves sound transmission via cortical stimulation, achieving high-fidelity sound reconstruction and matching non-implanted mice in sound discrimination.

The paper develops biocompatible coatings for 3D electrodes on retinal prostheses using electrodeposition and photolithography to protect gold surfaces while preserving functionality.

This study shows that gold coatings on subretinal implants cause retinal inflammation and neuronal loss, while platinum and titanium coatings reduce these effects, enabling better visual resolution implants.

This paper introduces a chronically implantable μLED array for optogenetic cortical stimulation in mice, demonstrating long-term stability and effective neuronal responses.

The paper develops doped amorphous silicon resistors for photovoltaic retinal implants, enabling smaller pixel sizes and improved electric field contrast without reducing photoresponsivity.

This study upgrades a subretinal photovoltaic implant in rats, improving visual acuity from 100m to 28m pixels.

This paper develops 3D electroplated structures for subretinal prostheses to improve electric field penetration and stimulation efficiency in retinal implants.
