Wireless, In Vivo Neural Recording using a Custom Integrated Bioamplifier and the Pico System

This paper describes a wireless system for sampling multiple channels of neural activity based on a low-power, custom 80dB-gain integrated bioamplifier, Texas Instrument's MSP430 microprocessors, and Nordic Semiconductor's ultra low power, high bandwidth RF transmitter/receivers. The system's features are presented as well as results of spike potentials from a live subject.
