Wireless and battery-free technologies for neuroengineering
Open accessAbstract
Tethered and battery-powered devices that interface with neural tissues can restrict natural motions and prevent social interactions in animal models, thereby limiting the utility of these devices in behavioural neuroscience research. In this Review Article, we discuss recent progress in the development of miniaturized and ultralightweight devices as neuroengineering platforms that are wireless, battery-free and fully implantable, with capabilities that match or exceed those of wired or battery-powered alternatives. Such classes of advanced neural interfaces with optical, electrical or fluidic functionality can also combine recording and stimulation modalities for closed-loop applications in basic studies or in the practical treatment of abnormal physiological processes.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Recently, there has been a focus on wireless transmission of data and energy for flexible implants, which can reduce messy wires and improve user mobility and social interaction.[325]”
From Flexible Electronics and Devices as Human–Machine Interfaces for Medical Robotics (2022) · cites this paper as [325]
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Batteries, for instance, can occupy up to 90% of an implant’s volume and 60% of its weight (Won et al., 2021), with space and thermal output being major constraints (Rapeaux and Constandinou, 2021).”
From Comparative analysis of energy transfer mechanisms for neural implants (2024) · cites this paper as Won et al., 2021
The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“For example, RF systems for charging may induce voltages in nearby data circuits, causing data loss or errors, while power harvesting in battery-less systems might disrupt high-frequency data signals (Bazaka and Jacob, 2012; Rahimpour et al., 2021; Won et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
