NeuroModular - A Modular Backend for Fiber-Based Wireless Bioelectronic Interfaces
… functional maturity of solid-state microdevices. Wireless operation of multifunctional fiber-based devices would allow neuromodulation in the central and peripheral nervous systems in awake behaving animals, allowing more naturalistic behaviors compared to wired operation. In this work I present a …
