AbstractWe developed a method to non-invasively detect synaptic relationships among neurons from in vitro networks. Our method uses microelectrode arrays on which neurons are cultured and from which propagation of extracellular action potentials (eAPs) in single axons are recorded at multiple electrodes. Detecting eAP propagation bypasses ambiguity introduced by spike sorting. Our methods identify short latency spiking relationships between neurons with properties expected of synaptically coupled neurons, namely they were recapitulated by direct stimulation and were sensitive to changing the number of active synaptic sites. Our methods enabled us to assemble a functional subset of neuronal connectivity in our cultures.

With the spread of devices equipped with touch panels, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, the opportunity for users to perform touch interaction has increased. In this paper, we constructed a device that generates multi-touch interactions to realize high-speed, continuous, or hands-free touch input on a touch panel. The proposed device consists of an electrode sheet printed with multiple electrodes using conductive ink and a voltage control board, and generates eight multi-touch interactions: tap, double-tap, long-press, press-and-tap, swipe, pinch-in, pinch-out, and rotation, by changing the capacitance of the touch panel in time and space. In preliminary experiments, we investigated the appropriate electrode size and spacing for generating multi-touch interactions, and then implemented the device. From the evaluation experiments, it was confirmed that the proposed device can generate multi-touch interactions with high accuracy. As a result, tap, press-and-tap, swipe, pinch-in, pinch-out, and rotation can be generated with a success rate of 100%. It was confirmed that all the multi-touch interactions evaluated by the proposed device could be generated with high accuracy and acceptable speed.

AbstractState-of-the-art silicon probes for electrical recording from neurons have thousands of recording sites, but only a fraction of them can be used simultaneously due to the forbiddingly large volume of the associated wires. To overcome this fundamental constraint, we propose a novel method called electrode pooling that uses a single wire to serve multiple recording sites. Multiple electrodes are connected to a single wire through a set of controllable switches. Here we present the framework behind this method and an experimental strategy to support it. We show that under suitable conditions electrode pooling can save wires without compromising the content of the recordings. We make recommendations for the design of future devices to take advantage of this strategy.

An effective non-contact electrostatic detection method is used for human body motion detection. Theoretical analysis and pratical experiments are carried out to prove that this method is effective in the field of human body monitoring, in which a model for human body induced potential by stepping has been proposed. Furthermore, experiment results also prove that it’s feasible to measure the average velocity and route of human body motion by multiple electrodes array. What’s more the real-time velocity and direction of human body motion can be determined by orthogonal electrostatic detector array, and the real-time velocity and direction of human body motion can be obtained within the range of 2 meters.

Electrophysiological Effects

Stretch induces modifications in myocardial electrical and mechanical activity. Besides the effects of substances that block the stretch-activated channels, other substances could modulate the effects of stretch through different mechanisms that affect Ca2+ handling by myocytes. Thirty-six Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts were used to analyze the effects of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker KB-R7943, propranolol, and the adenosine A2 receptor antagonist SCH-58261 on the acceleration of ventricular fibrillation (VF) produced by acute myocardial stretching. VF recordings were obtained with two epicardial multiple electrodes before, during, and after local stretching in four experimental series: control ( n = 9), KB-R7943 (1 μM, n = 9), propranolol (1 μM, n = 9), and SCH-58261 (1 μM, n = 9). Both the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker KB-R7943 and propranolol induced a significant reduction ( P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, respectively) in the dominant frequency increments produced by stretching with respect to the control and SCH-58261 series (control = 49.9%, SCH-58261 = 52.1%, KB-R7943 = 9.5%, and propranolol = 12.5%). The median of the activation intervals, the functional refractory period, and the wavelength of the activation process during VF decreased significantly under stretch in the control and SCH-58261 series, whereas no significant variations were observed in the propranolol and KB-R7943 series, with the exception of a slight but significant decrease in the median of the fibrillation intervals in the KB-R7943 series. KB-R7943 and propranolol induced a significant reduction in the activation maps complexity increment produced by stretch with respect to the control and SCH-58261 series. In conclusion, the electrophysiological effects responsible for stretch-induced VF acceleration in the rabbit heart are reduced by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blocker KB-R7943 and by propranolol but not by the adenosine A2 receptor antagonist SCH-58261.

In this paper, an approach is proposed for the simultaneous manipulation of multiple hexagonal and square plastic–glass type microparts that are positioned randomly on a smart platform (SP) using electrostatic forces applied by the suitable activation of circular conductive electrodes. First, the statics analysis of a micropart on the SP is presented in detail and the forces and torques that are applied to and around the center of mass (COM) respectively due to the activation of a SP electrode are determined. The “single electrode activation” (SEA) and the “multiple electrodes activations” (MEA) algorithms are introduced to determine the feasible SP electrodes activations for the microparts manipulation considering their initial configuration. An algorithm for the simultaneous handling of multiple microparts is studied considering the collision avoidance with neighboring microparts. An approach is presented for the simultaneous centralization and alignment of the microparts preparing them for their batch parallel motion on the SP. The developed algorithms are applied to a simulated platform and the results are presented and discussed.
