Additional information

This invited paper describes research on an implanted device developed to increase the quality-of-life of people affected by vestibular disorders (dizziness or balance), affecting ~35% of adults. The work arises from the flagship EU FET-Open project CLONS (www.clons-project.eu; €3.3M; PI at UCL: Demosthenous). The stimulator chip described is the first of its kind to feature an advanced digital management engine enabling real-time “closed-loop” control. The device is being used by a leading vestibular clinical research group (Prof. D.M. Merfeld, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary). The work has led to a postdoctoral mobility award for the researcher working on the project.
