Implantable Microsystems for High-Resolution Interfacing to the Brain

Neural Monitoring With CMOS Image Sensors

Implantable image sensors have several biomedical applications due to their miniature size, light weight, and low power consumption achieved through sub-micron standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technologies. The main applications are in specific cell labeling, neural activity detection, and biomedical imaging. In this paper the recent research studies on implantable CMOS i...

Implantable Microsystems for High-Resolution Interfacing to the Brain

lmost a decade after the invention of the first semiconductor transistor in 1948, it took the revolutionary technology almost a decade to evolve from producing single devices to integrating only a few transistors as the first integrated circuit (IC) in 1958. Since then, integrated circuits have been in continuous progress for more than half a century as predicted by the well-known Moore's law. ...

Design and Analysis of a Novel Ultra-Low Power SRAM Bit-Cell at 45nm CMOS Technology for Bio-Medical Implants

Bio-Implantable Microsystems such as the cardiac pacemaker, retinal and neural implant provides substitute for a missing biological part, support an impaired biological structure or even upgrade the existing biological system. These microsystems require ultra-low power miniature integrated circuit technology for long term reliable operation. For energy constraint applications like the implantab...

Design Challenges of Implantable Pressure Monitoring System

Pressure in various organs and body parts, such as blood vessels, heart, brain, eyes, bladder and GI tracts, is an important indication of health. Long term, continuous pressure monitoring is critically needed for a number of applications. When combined with existing neuro-prosthetics devices, they may provide better solutions to many neural disorders. First efforts toward a long-term implantab...
