Building wireless implantable neural interfaces within weeks for neuroscientists.

The variety of "`ready-to-use'" implantable recording and stimulation systems commercially available for neuroscience is very limited and fabrication of custom made implants is commonly considered expensive and time consuming. We present a circuit design that allows cost efficient and fast translation of available components into fully wireless implants. As demonstration fully wireless implantable bidirectional neural interfaces are presented which are made of commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) only. It is demonstrated that they are competitive to currently available state-of-the-art systems regarding size and performance.
