TLDR
This work presents a light-tolerant and low-power neural recording IC for motor prediction that can fully function in up to 300 $\mu \text{W}$ /mm2 of light exposure and achieves the best-in-class power consumption.Abstract:
Miniaturized and wireless near-infrared (NIR)-based neural recorders with optical powering and data telemetry have been introduced as a promising approach for safe long-term monitoring with the smallest physical dimension among state-of-the-art standalone recorders. However, the main challenge for the NIR-based neural recording integrated circuits (ICs) is to maintain robust operation in the presence of light-induced parasitic short-circuit current from junction diodes. This is especially true when the signal currents are kept small to reduce power consumption. In this work, we present a light-tolerant and low-power neural recording IC for motor prediction that can fully function in up to 300 $\mu \text{W}$ /mm2 of light exposure. It achieves the best-in-class power consumption of 0.57 $\mu \text{W}$ at 38 °C with a 4.1 noise efficiency factor (NEF) pseudo-resistor-less amplifier, an on- chip neural feature extractor, and individual mote-level gain control. Applying the 20-channel pre-recorded neural signals of a monkey, the IC predicts finger position and velocity with a correlation coefficient up to 0.870 and 0.569, respectively, with individual mote-level gain control enabled. In addition, wireless measurement is demonstrated through optical power and data telemetry using a custom photovoltaic (PV)/light-emitting diode (LED) GaAs chip wire bonded to the proposed IC.read more

TL;DR: This work evaluated a pulse-interval modulation (PIM) communication scheme for infrared (IR)-based motes that aims to reduce the wireless data rate and system power consumption and found that PIM at 1 kb/s per channel maintained strong correlations with true firing rate and matched online BMI performance of a traditional wired system.
