Design considerations in development of wireless brain-implantable microsystems

Today, implantable medical devices play an increasingly important role in improving quality of life for millions of people suffering from brain neurological disorders. In this work, we will review various circuit- and system-level considerations and trade-offs that must be taken into account in design of such systems in order to achieve high-resolution real-time brain electro-physiological activity monitoring, low-latency low-power digital signal processing, and highly-efficient electrical stimulation.
