Abstract: An implantable magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) safe stylus for biomedical devices is described. In one example, the stylus includes a set of stylus modules. One or more of the stylus modules includes a core rod formed of silicon carbide (SiC) material, a recording array mounted on the core rod, and a stimulation array mounted at a distal end of the core rod. The stylus also includes a hemispherical cap formed of SiC material. In part due to the construction and choice of materials used in the stylus, it does not substantially couple with electromagnetic fields during an MRI, for example. Therefore, the stylus does not produce excessive additional heat. The designs described herein also rely on the high thermal transport but low heat capacity of SiC to provide a thermal pathway which will conduct induced heat throughout the stylus, to dissipate heat more evenly.

Abstract: A neuroelectric device is defined by a substrate having a neuronal cell provided thereon, a stimulator for the neuron, and a transducer for detecting a signal produced in the neuron. The neuronal cell is positioned on the substrate in a predefined orientation. The neuronal cell is conveniently oriented by providing a patterned self-assembled monolayer on the substrate. In a preferred embodiment, a capacitative transducer serves as the transducer and is capable of detecting a signal propagating in the neuron. A network of neuroelectric devices that defines a logic device also is contemplated, which includes a plurality of neurons each in electrical communication with another neuron. The neurons are provided in synaptic relationship so that a signal propagating in one neuron can be attenuated upon stimulation of another neuron.
