Title
Development of a fully implantable recording system for ECoG signals
Abstract
This paper presents a fully implantable neural recording system for the simultaneous recording of 128 channels. The electrocorticography (ECoG) signals are sensed with 128 gold electrodes embedded in a 10 μm thick polyimide foil. The signals are picked up by eight amplifier array ICs and digitized with a resolution of 16 bit at 10 kHz. The digitized measurement data is processed in a reconfigurable digital ASIC, which is fabricated in a 0.35 μm CMOS technology and occupies an area of 2.8 x 2.8 mm2. After data reduction, the measurement data is fed into a transceiver IC, which transmits the data with up to 495 kbit/s to a base station, using an RF loop antenna on a flexible PCB. The power consumption of 84 mW is delivered via inductive coupling from the base station.
