BME Seminar Series: Théoden Netoff, PhD

WIMR 3571 1111 Highland Ave, Madison, Wisconsin, United States

Personalized Neuromodulation Optimization Theoden Netoff, PhDProfessor of Biomedical EngineeringCo-Director of the Center for NeuroengineeringUniversity of Minnesota Abstract:Neuromodulation is used to treat many disorders such as epilepsy, depression, chronic pain, and spinal cord injury. Implantable devices that deliver stimulation can be programmed to change stimulation amplitude, frequency, pulseswidth, and electrode selection to tune the stimulation. While...

CBE Seminar Series: Simon Rogers

1610 Engineering Hall 1415 Engineering Drive, Madison, WI, United States

Simon RogersDepartment of Chemical EngineeringUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL Recovery Rheology Rheological studies of real-world behaviors use idealized protocols to elucidate the underlying constitutive relations and are typically based on measurements of the stress response to strains or strain rates or vice versa. Strains and rates can therefore be thought of as rheological “atoms”,...

BME Seminar Series: Takashi Kozai, PhD

1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building 1550 Engineering Drive, Madison, WI, United States

Optimizing Intracortical Microstimulation: Addressing Perceptual Fading through Inhibition, Metabolic Stress Reduction, and Gliomodulation Takashi Kozai, PhDAssociate ProfessorDepartment of BioengineeringUniversity of Pittsburgh Abstract:Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) offers promising applications in neuroprosthetics by providing direct modulation of neural circuits. However, long-term ICMS effectiveness is limited by perceptual fading, a phenomenon where neural responses decrease with repeated stimulation. This...
