  1. Neural Recording System By: Ivana Duvnjak Stephen Kilpatrick Dawit Fsiha

  2. Outline • What is a Neural Network Recording System? • Why are they important? • How can they be improved? • Some possible solutions • Analysis of some solutions • Conclusions

  3. Brain sends electrical signals - Neurons Sent through axons Electrical Signals processed by synapses Mapping the brain Neural Network Recoding Systems

  4. Applications • Medical Research • Mental Performance • Mental Illness • Sleep Disorders • Etc.

  5. Electrode Amplifier Multiplexer Transmitter Receiver Subsystems

  6. Block Diagram of System DATA Electrode Amplifier Amplifier Electrode Tx Rx Electrode Amplifier POWER MUX

  7. Possible Improvements • Areas to improve in the neural recording system • Electrodes • Amplifier • Multiplexer • Transmitter • Receiver

  8. Neural LNA Amplifier • Functions • Power dissipation must kept low • Must reject noise ( flicker noise) • Amplifying a weak signal received from the electrodes • Must reject the DC offset created at the electrodes-Tissue interface

  9. Neural Amplifier Requirements • Power dissipation • Bandwidth requirement • Gain • Stability • Overall size

  10. Amplifier Solutions: Design I Neural Amplifier Circuit OTA Design

  11. Amplifier Solutions: Design II Neural Amplifier Circuit OTA Design

  12. Design I: Simulation Results • 10 pW power consumption • 39.974dB gain • Low-cutoff frequency: 0.4Hz • High-cutoff frequency: 7.852kHz • Area: 0.16mm2 • Stable

  13. Design II: Simulation Results • 11.5 pW power consumption • 40.362dB gain • Low-cutoff frequency: 83.114Hz • High-cutoff frequency: 32.526kHz • Area: 0.091mm2 • Stable

  14. Comparison of Designs Table 1. Summary of simulation results for the neural amplifiers

  15. Conclusions • Both designs meet the requirements of: • Power consumption • Stability • Size • DC offset rejection • Design I is significantly better, due to the more desirable bandwidth requirements.
