This dissertation by Malcolm Latorre focuses on the development and evaluation of a physical axon potential generator, known as the Paxon, for standardized testing of medical electrodes. The work aims to improve the understanding of electrode interactions with biological tissue, specifically in applications like deep brain stimulation (DBS). The Paxon simulates physiological action potentials using a test platform of 40 gold wires, each representing a node of Ranvier, to evaluate electrodes such as ECG surface and DBS types. The study includes a theoretical comparison of single and double cable neuron models to assess their effectiveness in DBS applications, emphasizing model complexity, axon diameter flexibility, and computational efficiency. The research targets biomedical engineers and healthcare professionals involved in electrode development and evaluation, providing insights into optimizing electrode design and functionality in medical applications.

This dissertation by Canyan Che investigates the reactions of quinones at conducting polymer electrodes, with a focus on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The research explores the potential of conducting polymers as metal-free electrode materials for proton-coupled multielectron transfer reactions, which are crucial for various biological and industrial processes. The study addresses the mechanisms of quinone redox reactions, their applications in fuel cells, and the integration of lignosulfonates to enhance energy storage capacity. The work aims to advance the design of organic redox flow batteries and other energy storage devices.

This doctoral thesis by Kosala Wijeratne explores the use of conducting polymer electrodes in thermogalvanic cells (TGCs) as an alternative to traditional platinum and carbon-based electrodes. The research focuses on the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy using iron-based molecules in aqueous electrolyte solutions. The study investigates the role of electrolyte viscosity, the mechanisms limiting electrical power output, and the electron transfer processes at the interface between the polymer electrode and the redox molecule. The findings aim to enhance the efficiency and application of conducting polymer cells in various technologies such as fuel cells, redox flow batteries, and dye-sensitized solar cells.

Reflects on developments in noninvasive electromyography, and includes advances and applications in signal detection, processing, and interpretation The book presents a quantitative approach to the study and use of noninvasively detected electromyographic (EMG) signals, as well as their numerous applications in various aspects of the life sciences. Surface Electromyography: Physiology, Engineering, and Applications is an update of Electromyography: Physiology, Engineering, and Noninvasive Applications (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2004) and focuses on the developments that have taken place over the last decade. The first nine chapters deal with the generation, detection, understanding, interpretation, and modeling of EMG signals. Detection technology, with particular focus on EMG imaging techniques that are based on two-dimensional electrode arrays are also included in the first half of the book. The latter 11 chapters deal with applications, which range from monitoring muscle fatigue, electrically elicited contractions, posture analysis, prevention of work-related and child-delivery-related neuromuscular disorders, ergonomics, movement analysis, physical therapy, exercise physiology, and prosthesis control. . Addresses EMG imaging technology together with the issue of decomposition of surface EMG. Includes advanced single and multi-channel techniques for information extraction from surface EMG signals. Presents the analysis and information extraction of surface EMG at various scales, from motor units to the concept of muscle synergies. The book is aimed primarily to biomedical engineers, rehabilitation physicians, and movement scientists. However, it may be appreciated by neurophysiologists, and physical and occupational therapists with a background in physics, engineering, and signal processing.
