  • Publication number: 20240134452
    Abstract: A brain computer interface for interfacing with a brain of a subject is provided. The brain computer interface includes one or more shanks. Each shank includes an array of pixels and output traces. Each pixel includes an electrode and a front-end circuit positioned at a site of the electrode. The front-end circuit is configured to reduce noise in signals recorded by the electrode, and further configured to multiplex the signals. A density of power consumption of the each pixel is equal to or less than 1 ?W per area of 50 ?m by 50 ?m. The output traces are electrically coupled with the array of pixels. A number of output traces is less than a number of pixels in the array due to multiplexing. The one or more shanks are configured to be inserted on and/or into a brain of a subject.

  • Patent number: 9839367
    Abstract: An implantable sensor array incorporates active electronic elements to greatly increase the number of sensors and their density that can be simultaneously recorded and activated. The sensors can be of various configurations and types, for example: optical, chemical, temperature, pressure or other sensors including effectors for applying signals to surrounding tissues. The sensors/effectors are arranged on a flexible and stretchable substrate with incorporated active components that allow the effective size, configuration, number and pattern of sensors/effectors to be dynamically changed, as needed, through a wired or wireless means of communication. Active processing allows many channels to be combined either through analog or digital means such that the number of wires exiting the array can be substantially reduced compared to the number of sensors/effectors on the array.

  • Patent number: 9072887
    Abstract: A sensor-effector system includes an array of sensor-effector transducers providing a plurality of sensed signals and applying a plurality of effector signals. The array provides signals to input signal conditioning circuitry which digitizes and filters the plurality of sensed signals. A processor receives the digitized signals, and processes them to generate multiple feature vectors. It also analyzes the feature vectors to identify patterns and classify the identified patterns and generates at least one response vector resulting from the recognized pattern. The response vector is applied to output signal conditioning circuitry, coupled which converts the response vector to at least one analog signal which is applied as an effector signal to the array of sensor-effector transducers.
