Wireless Implantable Neural Stimulator
- Detailed Technology Description
- This general purpose neural stimulator uses an AC signal to recreate naturally occurring neural processes. The device is scalable, wireless, and passive, which allows it be implanted into the human body and operated without invasive physical connections. The device consists of a resonant coupled power and control system, voltage rectifier and passive stimulation circuitry. The stimulation frequency is controlled by an external controller, and the transmission frequency is determined by a resonant capacitor attached to an antenna.
