Next Generation Implantable Neural Interface Microsystems

性质：在过去的十年中，植入式神经接口微系统在检测和控制严重的脑部疾病方面显示出有希望的结果。这些疾病通常起源于大脑的多个区域，要准确捕获这些疾病，就需要微系统快速增长，需要更多的通道来从大脑的大片区域获取高精度的感觉数据。该研究项目将通过研究从集中式高集成微系统到分布式无线传感器节点网络的设计范式转变，来应对由于可植入神经接口的扩展而带来的技术挑战。

Nature: In the past decade, implantable neural interface microsystems have shown promising results in detection and control of severe brain disorders. Accurate capture of these diseases, which often originate in multiple regions of the brain, demands microsystems with a rapidly-growing need for higher number of channels to acquire high-precision sensory data from a large area of the brain. This research program will respond to the rising technological challenges due to the scaling of implantable neural interfaces, by investigating a design paradigm shift from a centralized highly-integrated microsystem to a distributed wireless network of sensor nodes.
