Normann, Richard A.; Johansson,Torbjorn; Abbasi, Masoud; Huber, Robert J. | Three-dimensional architecture for a parallel processing photosensing array | A three-dimensional architecture for a photosensing array has been developed. This silicon based architecture consists of a 10 x 10 array of photosensors with 80 microns diameter, through chip interconnects to the back side of a 500 microns thick silicon wafer. Each photosensor consists of a 300 x 3... | Retina; Optics; Silicon; Photosensing | 1992 |

Normann, Richard A.; Jones, Kelly E. | Advanced demultiplexing system for physiological stimulation | A CMOS very large scale integration (VLSI) chip has been designed and built to implement a scheme developed for multiplexing/demultiplexing the signals required to operate an intracortical stimulating electrode array. Because the use of radio telemetry in a proposed system utilizing this chip may im... | Electrode Array; Stimulation; Telemetry; Microelectrodes; Transistors | 1997 |

Christensen, Douglas A. | Biosensor development at the University of Utah | Interest in biosensors has increased rapidly in the past few years due to the many potential advantages of these devices, such as small size, speed of response, and specificity 111. The term "biosensor" in the broad sense describes any device or apparatus which detects biological signals for the pu... | Silicon retina; Photosensing array; CHEMFET; Fluorescence lmmunosensor; Planar waveguide | 1994-07 |

Normann, Richard A.; Abbasi, Masoud; Johansson,Torbjorn | Silicon carbide enhanced thermomigration | The widespread acceptance of thermomigration technology to produce through-chip interconnects has been impaired by (i) a random walk of the Si-Al liquid eutectic inclusion as it traverses the wafer, and (ii) a ?surface barrier? which allows thermomigration of only relatively large inclusions.

Horch, Kenneth W. | Action potential classification with dual channel intrafascicular electrodes | Using recordings of peripheral nerve activity made with carbon fiber intrafascicular electrodes, we compared the performance of three different recording techniques (single channel, differential, and dual channel) and four different unit classification methods (linear discriminant analysis, temp... | Carbon fiber intrafascicular electrodes; Dual channel recording | 1994 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Tracking changes in action potential shapes in chronic multi-unit intrafascicular recordings using neural network pattern recognition techniques | A novel scheme is proposed to train an Artificial Neural Network (A") classifier, on a repeated basis, in order to track temporal changes in the shapes of the action potentials recorded through chronically implanted intrafascicular electrodes. This scheme uses classification results of the ANN Clas... | Intrafascicular electrodes; Artificial neural network | 1994 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Normann, Richard A. | Simulation of a phosphene field based visual prosthesis | A visual prosthesis for the blind based upon electrical stimulation of the visual cortex requires the development of an array of electrodes. To establish design specifications for such an electrode array, we have conducted psychophysical experiments with normally sighted subjects wearing a portable... | Visual prosthesis; Phosphene simulator | 1990 |

Normann, Richard A. | Visual Neuroprosthetics: Functional Vision for the Blind | Resent progress in materials and microfabrication technologies have allowed researchers to reconsider the prospect of providing a useful visual sense to the profoundly blind. This will be accomplished by electrically stimulating their visual systems via an array of implanted microelectrodes. T... | Visual Neuroprosthetics; Vision; Blindness | 1995-01 |

Normann, Richard A.; Maynard, Edwin M. | Neural interface for a cortical vision prosthesis | The development of a cortically based vision prosthesis has been hampered by a lack of basic experiments on phosphene psychophysics. This basic research has been hampered by the lack of a means to safely stimulate large numbers of cortical neurons. Recently, a number of laboratories have developed a... | Neuroprosthetics; Artificial Vision; Electrode Arrays; Multielectrode Recordings; Biocompatibility | 1999 |

Normann, Richard A.; Muller, Jay F.; Kolb, Helga | Synaptic inputs to physiologically defined turtle retinal ganglion cells | Two physiologically distinct, HRP-marked turtle retinal ganglion cells were examined for their morphology, GABAergic, glycinergic, and bipolar cell synaptic inputs, using electron-microscopic autoradiography and postembedding immunocytochemistry. One cell was a color-opponent, transient ON/OFF gangl... | Turtles; Neural Pathways; Synapes; Retinal Ganglion Cells | 1991 |

Angelucci, Alessandra; Lund, Jennifer S. | Circuits for local and global signal integration in primary visual cortex | Contrast-dependent changes in spatial summation and contextual modulation of primary visual cortex (V1) neuron responses to stimulation of their receptive field reveal long-distance integration of visual signals within V1, well beyond the classical receptive field (cRF) of single neurons. To identif... | Primary Visual Cortex; Extrastriate Cortex; Feed-back Connections; Lateral Connections; SUrround Modulation; Macaque | 2002-10-01 |

Normann, Richard A.; Clark, Gregory A.; McDonnall, Daniel | Selective motor unit recruitment via intrafascicular multielectrode stimulation | Recruitment of force via independent asynchronous firing of large numbers of motor units produces the grace and endurance of physiological motion. We have investigated the possibility of reproducing this physiological recruitment strategy by determining the selectivity of access to large numbers of ... | Funtional Neuromuscular Stimulation; Microelectrode Array; Neuroprosthesis; Intrafascicular Multielectrode Stimulation; Cats | 2004 |

Normann, Richard A.; Kolb, Helga | Neural organization of the retina of the turtle Mauremys caspica: a light microscope and Golgi study | The organization of the retina of the turtle species Mauremys caspica, found in fresh water ponds of Israel, has been examined by light microscopical techniques including examination of fresh wholemount retina, one micron blue-stained vertical sections and Golgi-stained material. The anatomical find... | Turtle Retina; Photoreceptors; Golgi Technique; Amarcine Cells | 1988 |
