Neural stimulation biocompatibility

Structure can be readily modified to improve charge injection capability and promote biocompatibility. Such advantages make it an attractive candidate for further research as coatings for neural stimulation electrodes. 

This book. Implantable Neural Prostheses 2 Techniques and Engineering Approaches, is part two of a two-volume sequence that describes state-of-the-art advances in techniques associated with implantable neural prosthetic devices. The techniques covered include biocompatibility and biostability, hermetic packaging, electrochemical techniques for neural stimulation applications, novel electrode materials and testing, thin-film flexible microelectrode arrays, in situ characterization of microelectrode arrays, chip-size thin-film device encapsulation, microchip-embedded capacitors and microelectronics for recording, stimulation, and wireless telemetry. The design process in the development of medical devices is also discussed.
