Challenges for Miniaturized Neurostimulators: Design of wireless Bio/CMOS interfaces for brain stimulation

Neurostimulation addresses neurological and mental disorders such as Parkinson’s, blindness, deafness, and depression. Miniaturized, wireless, and free-floating neurostimulators improve spatial resolution, increase the surface of coverage, and reduce chronic trauma. Several techniques have been proposed over the last few years. This article focuses on some selected approaches that have been shown to be effective and promising.
