Bio-implantable devices have been used to perform therapeutic functions such as drug
delivery or diagnostic monitoring of physiological parameters. Proper operation of these …

This paper reviews some popular techniques to harvest energy for implantable biosensors.
For each technique, the advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Emphasis is placed on …

Wireless power transfer is commonly realized by means of near-field inductive coupling and
is critical to many existing and emerging applications in biomedical engineering. This paper …

The ability to monitor the simultaneous electrical activity of multiple neurons in the brain
enables a wide range of scientific and clinical endeavors. Recent efforts to merge miniature …

In this paper we propose the Merge framework, a general purpose programming model for
heterogeneous multi-core systems. The Merge framework replaces current ad hoc …

The efficacy of wireless intracortical brain–computer interfaces (iBCIs) is limited in part by
the number of recording channels, which is constrained by the power budget of the …

We present a multichip structure assembled with a medical-grade stainless-steel
microelectrode array intended for neural recordings from multiple channels. The design …

Neural prosthetic systems aim to help disabled patients by translating neural signals from
the brain into control signals for guiding computer cursors, prosthetic arms, and other …

This paper presents a digital neural/EMG telemetry system small enough and lightweight
enough to permit recording from insects in flight. It has a measured flight package mass of …

Implantable medical devices usually require a battery to operate and this can represent a
severe restriction. In most cases, the implantable medical devices must be surgically …
