Description
The goal of this proposal is to develop an implant capable of wirelessly streaming electrophysiological signals and controlling stimulation pulses from a wide variety of anatomical targets for the purposes of neuroscience research. Such an implant does not exist and would be of great benefit to the neuroscience community. There is a well-recognized need among neuroscientists to monitor a large number of neural signals from freely behaving animals from an implanted system. There is a similar need for an implantable, high channel count neural stimulator. The BRAIN initiative has intensified this need as no commercial solution exists for an implanted device capable of streaming a large number of neural signals or controlling a large number of stimulation channels.
