Abstract

In this paper, we describe an optical microsystem for wireless neural recording. The system incorporated recording electrodes, integrated electronics, surface-mount LEDs, and a CCD camera. The components were mounted on a PCB platform having a total dimension of 2.2 times 2.2 cm², 4 integrated biopotential amplifiers (IBA) and 16 LEDs. The IBAs having a bandwidth of 0.1-93.5 Hz with the midband gain of 38 dB were fabricated using AMI 1.6 mum technology. The simulated local field potentials (LFP) were amplified and used to drive the LEDs. A CCD camera with a temporal resolution of 30FPS was used to capture the image and retrieve the signal.
