A Miniature Wireless Neural Recording and Stimulating System for Chronic Implantation in Freely Moving Animals

Kanchwala, Mustafa Ashiq Hussain

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Biomedical Engineering.
Bioelectronic Medicine Therapies offer a promising alternative to traditional procedures, and implantable devices are crucial for its development. This thesis presents a miniature, low power, 2 channel integrated wireless neural recording and stimulating system with sampling rates of 20ksps to allow researchers to understand the organ functions and develop therapies in freely moving small animals. The wireless implant uses Carbon Nano Tube Yarn (CNTY) electrodes to interface with the peripheral nerves and record signals. High data transmission rates are achieved by using an Ultra-wideband Impulse Radio (UWB-IR) transmitter and wireless switching control is provided by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The UWB transmitter is primarily designed to make it implantable in freely moving rats for long periods of time, to chronically record neural activity in the peripheral nerves and stimulate them wirelessly. Preliminary experiments and bench test results have confirmed its functioning with high data transmission rate and low power consumption.
