“This is an excellent monograph on the electronics of neural stimulators for clinical and experimental recordings including chronic spine devices for the control of pain. … The parameters of safe operation and application are discussed for neurophysiologists, engineering specialists, fellows, and students in graduate school. Junior undergraduate students will find the discussions very relevant and helpful in their work and studies.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon. com, April, 2016)
Design of Efficient and Safe Neural Stimulators
A Multidisciplinary Approach
von Marijn van Dongen und Wouter SerdijnThis book discusses the design of neural stimulator systems which are used for the treatment of a wide variety of brain disorders such as Parkinson’s, depression and tinnitus. Whereas many existing books treating neural stimulation focus on one particular design aspect, such as the electrical design of the stimulator, this book uses a multidisciplinary approach: by combining the fields of neuroscience, electrophysiology and electrical engineering a thorough understanding of the complete neural stimulation chain is created (from the stimulation IC down to the neural cell). This multidisciplinary approach enables readers to gain new insights into stimulator design, while context is provided by presenting innovative design examples.
