Systems and methods for intracranial neural monitoring and modulation via wireless means

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for the wireless monitoring of neural activity via minimally invasive, repositionable means. The use of either optical or direct electrical galvanic communications has the advantage of being safe over a wide range of parameters and allows high rates of reliable analog or digital communications. A small component that is typically driven in an untethered way is integrated with a mechanism that can register electric voltage between at least two points and transmit the resulting recorded signal. A repositionable, small component allows for versatile and safe monitoring of different intracranial sites. A wireless reliable communication method allows reconstructing high-fidelity signals and thus understanding brain activity in places that are otherwise inaccessible.
