Abstract

The system (e.g., neural interface system) can include: one or more recording modules and/or one or more stimulus modules. In an example, the system can include an electrical recording module and an optical stimulus module. In an example, the electrical recording module can include: a neural interface module, a digital controller module, an analog drive module, and/or an electrode multiplexer. In a specific example, the optical stimulus module can include: a LED driver IC and set of LEDs, where the LED driver IC provides required power and control signals to run the set of LEDs and set of LEDs apply desired optical stimulus to a set of neurons. In variants, the system can function to read signals from neurons (e.g., reading electrical signals via electrodes) and/or transmit signals to neurons (e.g., transmitting electrical signals via electrodes and/or transmitting light signals via LEDs).
