Simplifying the hardware requirements for fast neural EIT of peripheral nerves

_Objective_. The main objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of lowering the hardware requirements for fast neural electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in order to support the distribution of this technique. Specifically, the …

Fascicle localisation within peripheral nerves through evoked activity recordings: A comparison between electrical impedance tomography and multi-electrode arrays

_Background_: The lack of understanding of fascicular organisation in peripheral nerves limits the potential of vagus nerve stimulation therapy. Two promising methods may be employed to identify the functional anatomy of fascicles within the nerve: …

Imaging fascicular organization of rat sciatic nerves with fast neural electrical impedance tomography

Here, we validate EIT imaging in rat sciatic nerve by comparison to micro-computed tomography (microCT) and histology with fluorescent dextran tracers.

MicroCT optimisation for imaging fascicular anatomy in peripheral nerves

BACKGROUND. Due to the lack of understanding of the fascicular organisation, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) leads to unwanted off-target effects. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) can be used to trace fascicles from periphery and image fascicular …

Optimization of the electrode drive pattern for imaging fascicular compound action potentials in peripheral nerve with fast neural electrical impedance tomography

OBJECTIVE. The main objective of this study was to investigate which injection pattern led to the best imaging of fascicular compound activity in fast neural EIT of peripheral nerve using an external cylindrical 2 × 14-electrodes cuff. Specifically, …
