▪ Abstract Retinal prostheses represent the best near-term hope for individuals with
incurable, blinding diseases of the outer retina. On the basis of the electrical activation of …

Accurate numerical calculation of the thermal profile in humans requires reliable estimates
of the following five tissue properties: specific heat capacity (c), thermal conductivity (k) …

This book contains pioneering methods in biomimetics. Introducing the principles of using
biology to inspire designs as well as biological mechanisms as models for technology, this …

The strong reactive near-field wireless power transmission (WPT) systems induce electric
fields in the body tissue of persons in their close vicinity. This may pose potential direct …

There is a growing interest in the use of chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the
treatment of medically refractory movement disorders and other neurological and psychiatric …

A chronically implantable, wireless neural interface device will require integrating electronic
circuitry with the interfacing microelectrodes in order to eliminate wired connections. Since …

Implantable devices are well on the way to becoming small, dedicated, and highly complex
embedded systems. As such, they are plagued by the same thermal management problems …

A network of biosensors can be implanted in a human body for health monitoring,
diagnostics, or as a prosthetic device. Biosensors can be organized into clusters where most …

With the increasing use of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) devices in healthcare, it is of
utmost importance to analyze the electromagnetic power absorption and thermal effects …

In this paper, we investigate a novel approach of establishing a data telemetry link for a dual-
unit retinal prosthesis at microwave frequencies (1.45 and 2.45 GHz) using a pair of …
