Abstract

This paper reports direct stimulation of sciatic nerves in rats using a novel battery-free neural interface connected to triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) for neuro-modulation. The stacked TENGs were investigated to optimize the device performance as a neurostimulator. The proposed stacked TENGs generate enough charge by hand tapping to selectively stimulate the sciatic nerve via the sling interface for selective activation of muscles in rats. This promising prove-concept result indicates that this technology could be the way of realizing a self-sustainable platform for neuromodulation in the future.
