  • Low-power analog architecture for brain-machine interfaces
    Patent number: 8332024
    Abstract: An ultra-low-power circuit for wireless neural recording and stimulation is provided. The circuit includes a neural amplifier with adaptive power biasing for use in multi-electrode arrays and a decoding and/or learning architecture. An impedance-modulation telemetry system provides low-power data telemetry. Also, the circuit includes a wireless link for efficient power transfer, and at least one circuit for wireless stimulation of neurons.
    Type: Grant
