Abstract :
A design for a wireless microsensor that can be injected into the human brain to transmit motor cortical signals to an external computer is outlined in this paper. The design covers the electronic system, including communications, and a mechanical system for deploying micro-wings that help prevent motion within the brain, and increase the communication potential of the sensor.
