Research Abstract |
We have developed a fully implantable myoelectric interface powered by a wireless NIR (near infra red) power system. In the long-term experiments, the implanted device functioned normally for more than weeks without degrading the signal quality. The lifetime of the device were extended by using CNT (carbon nanotube) coated thread as unbreakable recording electrodes. The interface successfully functioned in the bodies of rats to record EMG (electromyogram) signals.
