Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include an external base station with a tethered transceiver, an implanted hub that includes power, telemetry, and processing electronics, and a plurality of implanted satellite that contain reconfigurable front-end electronics for interfacing with electrodes. The system can operate in different modes. In a first mode, called a base boost mode, the external base station is used for closed-loop control of stimulation therapies. In a second, autonomous mode, closed-loop control is performed in the hub without direct influence from the base station. In a third mode, streams of neural data are transmitted to an offline processor for offline analysis.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for recording electrical signals in the presence of artifacts. The system and methods can employ multiple techniques for attenuating large, unwanted artifacts while preserving lower amplitude desirable signals. Aspects that can improve the recording of electrical signals in the presence of larger artifacts include particular electrode placement and spacing, high dynamic range amplification with good linearity, and signal blanking. Combinations of more or fewer techniques can be employed to achieve the desired attenuation of signal artifacts while preserving the desired signal. The systems and methods are suitable for recording neural signals in the presence of electrical stimulation signals.

Abstract: An electrode array includes a body portion, at least one tail portion, at least one tissue surface contact, and at least one intratissue contact. The electrode array can provide stimulation or record signals from both the surface of a target tissue and within the target tissue. A system for tissue surface and intratissue signal recording and/or stimulation contains an electrode array, a controller or receiver, and at least one connection between the electrode array and the controller or receiver. A method of recording signals and/or stimulating tissue includes contacting the target tissue surface and target tissue interior with an electrode array and providing or recording an electrical, chemical, or optical signal.

Abstract: A system for providing biphasic stimulation is disclosed. The system includes an electrode, an antenna coupled to a transmitter, a capacitor, a power supply, a backscatter load selectively coupled to the antenna via a switching device, a plurality of switches, and a controller configured to control the switching device to output, by the antenna, an acknowledgement signal to the transmitter responsive to receiving the power. The controller is further configured to control the plurality of switches to electrically couple a first plate of the capacitor to the electrode to provide a first nerve stimulation signal having a first polarity, and electrically couple a second plate of the capacitor to the electrode to provide a second nerve stimulation signal having a second polarity opposite the first polarity. The system further includes a housing encapsulating the antenna, the capacitor, the power supply, the backscatter load, the switches, and the controller.
