Low Cost, Fully Implantable Wireless Neural Recording Device

项目摘要/摘要 拟议的项目将开发一种记录大脑和肌肉信号的设备(脑电图仪和 肌电图仪，脑电/肌电图仪)，无需繁琐、昂贵和维护- 密集的电线或电池，阻碍了现有商业系统的使用。通过交付 无线供电和数据，并完全消除动物身上的所有外部植入，我们的技术将 将大脑记录功能扩展到敏感行为，如睡眠唤醒行为或社交互动， 很容易被外部绳索破坏，并将允许长期记录和动物的记录 在三维自然主义环境中活动，这在目前的技术下是不可能的。 此外，我们将开发的系统与现有的Neurolux高频无线电子完全兼容 平台和控制软件，使我们能够利用现有商业平台的优势进一步 先进的神经科学研究能力。

Project Summary/Abstract The proposed project will develop a device that records brain and muscle signals (electroencephalography and electromyography, EEG/EMG) from behaving rodents without the cumbersome, expensive, and maintenance- intensive wires or batteries that hinder the usefulness of existing commercially available systems. By delivering both power and data wirelessly, and entirely eliminating all external implants on the animal, our technology will extend brain recording capabilities to sensitive behaviors, such as sleep-wake behavior or social interaction, that are easily disrupted by external tethers, and will enable long-term recordings and recordings from animals behaving in three-dimensional naturalistic environments, that are impossible with current technology. Furthermore, the system we will develop is fully compatible with existing NeuroLux HF wireless electronic platform and control software, allowing us to leverage the strengths of an existing commercial platform to further advance neuroscience research capabilities.
