Research Abstract |
A CMOS-based implantable flexible neural stimulation / measurement device was proposed and demonstrated. The most important feature of the device is its "Multi-chip architecture". We design a small-sized, intelligent neural interface devices ("Unit chip") and aligned them on a flexible substrate. It enables a neural stimulation / measurement device with intelligent functionality and flexibility to fit a curved tissue.We designed a CMOS unit chip and fabricated a flexible neural stimulation / measurement device for feasibility study, and obtained promising results.
