Description
Taking advantage of the magnetoelectric effect and the nanometric dimensions of core-shell CFO-BTO magnetoelectric nanoparticles, this study investigated the feasibility of using the nanorod-shaped MENPs as sensing devices for spontaneous peripheral neural activity. A computational approach was used to first characterize the electrical distribution around a single peripheral nerve fiber and to quantify the corresponding nanorod response. In addition, the influence of an externally applied magnetic field on the nanorod response was quantified. Our results confirm the potential of using the core-shell nanorod-shaped MENPs as recording tools and represent a first step towards the development of next-generation wireless and minimally invasive components of neuroprosthetic devices.
