Abstract :
A wireless neural recording system with a microelectrode was designed and fabricated for telemetric analysis. The electrode made of shape memory alloy (SMA) can clip a nerve cord tightly and can successfully record the neural activity. A polyimide ribbon cable was fabricated for flexible interconnects. The wireless system can transmit the bio-signal from the living insect nerve cord to the receiver
