A Neural Recording and Stimulation Chip with Artifact Suppression for Biomedical Devices

Abstract

This paper presents chip implementation of the integrated neural recording and stimulation system with stimulation-induced artifact suppression. The implemented chip consists of low-power neural recording circuits, stimulation circuits, and action potential detection circuits. These circuits constitute a closed-loop simultaneous neural recording and stimulation system for biomedical devices, and a proposed artifact suppression technique is used in the system. Moreover, this paper also presents the measurement and experiment results of the implemented 4-to-4 channel neural recording and stimulation chip with 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The function and efficacy of simultaneous neural recording and stimulation is validated in both in vivo and animal experiments. © 2021 Xu Liu et al.
