Battery-Operated High-Bandwidth Multi-Channel Wireless Neural Recording System Using 802.11b

Abstract

Abstract-This paper reports the design of a batteryoperated, high bandwidth, multi-channel wireless medical telemetry system. The system is capable of transmitting 2.3Mbps of raw streaming data using the IEEE 802.11b protocol. In a typical application, the system was used to collect data from micro-wire electrodes implanted in the ventral striatum of an awake and behaving rat. The complete system weighs 87g (without battery) and consumes 2.7W
