Abstract: A headstage for a Neural Data Acquisition System is shown and described. In one embodiment, the headstage includes at least one Input Pre-amplifier, and a multiplexer (MUX) for multiplexing at least one channel. In one embodiment, the input filter of the Input Pre-amplifier is tuned by adjusting the gate voltage of a transistor operating in sub-threshold mode.

Abstract: A Wireless Neural Data Acquisition System for increased power efficiency, compact size, robust signaling and reliable transmission is shown and described. In one embodiment, the system includes a headstage, an RF receiver, an analog-to-digital converter, a digital signal processor, and a communication interface. The headstage includes at least one input pre-amplifier high-pass filter and amplifier, a multiplexer (MUX), an RF Modulator comprising a voltage control oscillator (VCO), a transmitting antenna, and a power supply. The RF receiver includes at least one receiving antenna, at least one bandpass filter, at least one amplifier, at least one attenuator, and an FM Demodulator.
