Computational tissue volume reconstruction of a peripheral nerve using high-resolution light-microscopy and reconstruct.

The development of neural cuff-electrodes requires several in vivo studies and revisions of the electrode design before the electrode is completely adapted to its target nerve. It is therefore favorable to simulate many of the steps involved in this process to reduce costs and animal testing. As the...
