An experimental verification of a microwave backscatter tag for recording neural signals

The ability to record neuro-signals by implantable microsystem in real-time is a highly challenging task in modern neuro-engineering. The critical information about the bioelectric activity of the nervous system is essential to the fields of medical diagnostic, therapeutics, rehabilitation and to the relatively new field of man-machine interface. This information can lead to the development of new neural prosthesis and provide an insight in the treatment of many disorders related to the nervous system.
