A CMOS-based multichip flexible retinal stimulator for simultaneous multi-site stimulation

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2010:2010:5883-6. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2010.5627531.

Abstract

We developed a novel CMOS-based multichip flexible neural stimulator with on-chip stimulation generator. It enables simultaneous multi-site stimulation. We also propose a new type of multi-chip retinal stimulator with single electrode / unit chip configuration. We successfully performed simultaneous multi-site stimulation in an in vivo retinal stimulation experiment using a rabbit.
