Abstract

This article presents the system architecture for an implant concept called NeuroBus. Tiny distributed direct digitizing neural recorder ASICs on an ultra-flexible polyimide substrate are connected in a bus-like structure, allowing short connections between electrode and recording front-end with low wiring effort and high customizability. The small size (344 μm × 294 μm) of the ASICs and the ultraflexible substrate allow a low bending stiffness, enabling the implant to adapt to the curvature of the brain and achieving high structural biocompatibility. We introduce the architecture, the integrated building blocks, and the post-CMOS processes required to realize a NeuroBus, and we characterize the prototyped direct digitizing neural recorder front-end as well as polyimide-based ECoG brain interface. A rodent animal model is further used to validate the joint capability of the recording front-end and thin-film electrode array.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Implementation of a remote wireless hub with tethered contacts to electrode sites helps overcome safety limitations of wireless powering and communication due to tissue heating and enables easy access to deeper tissue regions, while active, in-situ control of high-density electrodes enables use of fewer wires that improves interconnect reliability.

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.
