The use of an implanted micromachined silicon sieve electrode array to make long term chronic recordings from the glossopharyngeal nerve is described. The implant consists of an array of small holes in a silicon substrate, four of which are surrounded by electrodes connected with an integrally fabricated ribbon cable to a percutaneous headcap. Using this device we have been able to monitor the integrity of the electrodes from the time of implantation and subsequently to record evoked sensory responses from mechanoreceptors on the tongue.

Neural stimulation interface with ultra-low power signal conditioning circuit for fully-implantable cochlear implants
Ulusan, Hasan; Chamanian, Salar; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2018-03-23)
This paper presents an ultra-low power interface circuit to stimulate auditory nerves through fully-implantable cochlear implants (FICIs). The interface circuit senses signals generated from a multi-frequency piezoelectric sensor array, and generates neural stimulation current according to input sound level. Firstly, piezoelectric sensor output is amplified, and compressed with an ultra-low power logarithmic amplifier (LA). This significantly reduces power by eliminating the compression in the next stages. ...
Fully Implantable Cochlear Implant Interface Electronics With 51.2-mu W Front-End Circuit
Ulusan, Hasan; Chamanian, Salar; Ilik, Bedirhan; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2019-07-01)
This paper presents an ultralow power interface circuit for a fully implantable cochlear implant (FICI) system that stimulates the auditory nerves inside cochlea. The input sound is detected with a multifrequency piezoelectric (PZT) sensor array, is signal-processed through a front-end circuit module, and is delivered to the nerves through current stimulation in proportion to the sound level. The front-end unit reduces the power dissipation by combining amplification and compression of the sensor output thr...
A Pulse-Width Modulated Cochlear Implant Interface Electronics with 513 mu W Power Consumption

The fully implantable cochlear implant (FICI) interface circuit proposed in this work senses sound harmonics from 8 different piezoelectric cantilever sensors, and generates pulse width modulated biphasic current outputs to stimulate the auditory neurons. Signals from the piezoelectric sensors are amplified, rectified, and sampled. The sampled voltage is held and converted to current by a novel logarithmic voltage-to-current converter. The current is then digitized with a current comparator to determine the...

Dielectric Characterization of Imatinib Resistant K562 Leukemia Cells through Electrorotation with 3-D Electrodes
Bahrieh, G.; Koydemir, H. Ceylan; Erdem, Murat; Ozgur, E.; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2013-11-06)
This study reports the use of electrorotation (ER) technique within a micro-fabricated device with 3D electrodes for dielectric characterization of Imatinib-resistant K562 (K562/IMA-0.2) human leukemic cells. The ER devices with 3D quadruple electrodes (30 mu m in height) were used in order to eliminate the fringing field effect on the rotation of cells. To induce the rotational moment on the cells, signals in phase quadrature were applied to the triangular electrodes. The rotation of cells measured at the ...
