“Brain-Machine-Brain Wireless Interfaces for Intracortical Biosensing and Subsequent Treatments” in Talk by DL Mohamad Sawan at SSCS-New York and Santa Clara in May and June [People

Abstract

FALL 20 11 IEEE SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS MAGAZINE IIn two lectures at SSCS-New York in May and SSCS-Santa Clara in June, Prof. Mohamad Sawan of Polytechnique Montreal focused on circuits and systems techniques for the design, implementation, and integration of biosensing and treatment microsystems. He described fully implantable devices that interact with the neural system and interconnect with intracortical neural tissues to bidirectionally exchange data with an external base station, with wireless links used for powering up. antenna structure, its radiation effi ciency, and simulation methodology. All who were polled agreed that Prof. Niknejad’s technical vision and stunning presentation set a new bar for SSCS-Vancouver. —Shahriar Mirabbasi Chair, SSCS-Vancouver
