An Investigation into Neural Tissue-Electrode Contact as a Performance Impairing Factor in Flexible, Micro-Electrocorticographic Probes Meant for Brain-Computer Interfacing
DownloadFall 2017
The on-going development of micro- and nano-fabrication methods is facilitating interest and investigation into neural probes and implants for use as neurosurgical diagnostic tools and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Key to the development of all neural probes, from invasive to non-invasive, is...

Recent technological advancements in the field of neural recording and decoding have changed the landscape of neural prostheses. However, a lack of biocompatible electrodes for long-term neural recording resulting in loss of electrode functionality is currently a major limiting factor for...

The surface mining of oil sand ore requires the use of huge shovels and 400-tonne capacity trucks to transfer the mined ore to the slurry preparation plant, where water and additives are added to the crushed ore. The oil sand slurry is then transported to the extraction section and simultaneously...

The extraction of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands reserves has long been a major economic contributor to the Canadian society, but the impact this industry has had on the environment has raised concerns worldwide. The main problems are how to reclaim the area and reduce the number of tailings...

Amino acids are building blocks for protein synthesis and are essential to every metabolic process. A well-balanced diet is one in which all required amino acids are present in the food that is eaten. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and nutritional supplements can be used to make up...

During thermal cracking of bitumen, olefins are formed via free radical reactions and are mainly concentrated in the naphtha and distillate cut of the upgraded bitumen. Olefins are undesirable in the upgraded bitumen product because they are associated with equipment fouling. As a result, these...

Poor settling of solids increases land requirement for tailings containment and imposes severe constraints on the water balance. Consequent to these considerations, the alternating current electrocoagulation (AC/EC) technique emerged as a candidate for enhancing the settling behaviour of...

This work investigated different acid catalysts and olefinic alkylating agents for the alkylation of an industrial asphaltenes feed. The working hypothesis was that alkylation would change the solubility parameter and increase the H/C ratio of asphaltenes sufficiently to cause some asphaltenes...

Phase transitions of the alkali metal carboxylates have been explored by many researchers. A fair amount of scatter can also be observed in the published data. The aim of this study was to systematically study the thermal behavior of lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium and rubidium carboxylates,...
