Electrode configuration affects electrochemical behaviour. In vivo electrodes are constrained by anatomy, biological or clinical outcomes. We provide methods for detecting and correcting electrode configuration issues from in vivo electrochemistry mdpi.com/2072-666X/14/4…

Our latest review on the ethical and legal issues of stem cell derived tissue constructs for clinical applications. The requirements depend on application, there is no perfect, one-size-fits-all tissue model molecularpsychology.org/articles/2-8

Today's experiment is comparing plasma, serum and whole blood on bionic electrode performance

I'll be participating in a free panel discussing recent developments in "smart surfaces" on Nov 8. You can book your tickets here: melbconnect.com.au/events/the-fut…

A good start to the year with an article discussing some limitations using voltage transients for bionics. Particularly, the hardware slew rate, rise time, sample time, pulse length and waveform averaging, plus electrode configuration can impact VTs. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

This free article explains how I started working on bioethics and discusses my recent article on the need for post trial support for participants in clinical trials of irreversible, high risk medical treatments - go.shr.lc/3xcAx07

Our latest comment on the ethics of clinical trials for bionics. Participants in trials assessing high risk, irreversible treatments should be viewed as components of the treatment, and not just as research subjects. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It is now possible to perform prenatal phenotypic screening by obtaining foetal tissue and converting it into a stem cell-derived tissue. In our article we argue for the urgent need to debate the ethics and regulations of this technology link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Australia's productivity commission is calling for new ideas to increase productivity. My submission argues any improvements are achieved by sustained high levels of investment in research and development, stable employment and simpler funding applications engage.pc.gov.au/projects/produ…

We open up the possibility of safer bionic devices. Through electrochemical measurements and electrophysiological modelling, we show it is theoretically possible to stimulate neural tissue using minimally invasive endovascular electrodes rdcu.be/eennY

Our latest article examines the case for using DBS to treat dementia doi.org/10.1080/215077…

In this article I show that electrode area has the strongest impact on electrophysiological recordings by controlling the measured neural population rather than reducing thermal noise. It also highlights the limits of cable theory in neuroscience. dx.doi.org/10.1111/nyas.1…
