Intrafascicular Vagal Activity Recording and Analysis Based on Carbon Nanotube Yarn Electrodes.

The vagus nerve carries sensory information from multiple organs in the body. The recording of its activity and further processing is a key step for neuromodulation treatments. This paper presents a specific algorithm for the processing and discrimination of intrafascicular recordings from the vagus nerve using the novel carbon nanotube yarn electrodes. Up to four different neural waveforms were found, whose occurrence corresponded to distinct levels of anesthesia depth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
