Ionic Communications for Implantables
June 28, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“Here, we [electrical engineers at Columbia University] introduce ionic communication (IC) that uses ions to effectively propagate megahertz-range signals. . . . We created a fully implantable IC-based neural interface device that acquired and noninvasively transmitted neurophysiologic data from freely moving rodents over a period of weeks with stability sufficient for isolation of action potentials from individual neurons. IC is a biologically based data communication that establishes long-term, high-fidelity interactions across intact tissue.” MORE
