Architecture Of Neural Interfacing

The field of neural interfaces is witnessing significant growth, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence AIdriven neural decoding and neural stimulation therapies Figure 1B. This expansion is marked by a diverse set of international collaborations, as indicated by various colorcoded clusters in research output Figure 2 .

Large-scale neural interfacing is needed to provide better understanding of the brain at the cellular level and to develop more advanced prosthetic devices and brain-machine interfaces.

Introduction. Since the days of Fritsch and later Hubel , neural interfaces have illuminated the complex circuitry of the brain through both electrical stimulation and recording modalities 3,4.Thanks to modern fabrication techniques, simple interfaces made of single microwires have since evolved to shanks that can simultaneously record from hundreds of neurons 5,6.

The research and development of implantable neural interfacing devices has experienced exponential growth in recent years. These devices are placed within the neural tissue to measure electrophysiological and neurochemical signals or to modulate neural activities via methods including but not limited to electrical, optical, chemical, magnetic, and ultrasound stimulation.

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

The design of neural interfaces first requires the identification of brain patterns that could be used to control an actuator, such as an arm prosthesis. This process can be approached in essentially two ways, namely, by directly measuring brain activity at different spatial and temporal resolutions, at rest or during the production of a task

The interfaces typically consist of three modules a tissue interface, a sensing interface, and a neural signal processing unit and based on technical milestones in the development of the

The electronics part of a bidirectional neural interface bridges the gap between the neural implant and the computer. A typical implementation consists of five major building blocks Figure 4, namely amplifier, filter, analog-to-digital converter ADC, stimulator, and communication interface. The rationale behind this architecture is
