Neural prostheses activated by radiofrequency transmission are currently being implanted to treat a variety of clinical problems. It is essential that neither the materials used in these prostheses, particularly the electrodes, nor the stimulus parameters that are employed will cause neural damage. The experiences of investigators engaged in both the experimental laboratory and clinical studies of the effects of electrical stimulation are reported herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
