Design of an Embedded Fluorescence Imaging System for Implantable Optical Neural Recording

The brain is the most complex and least understood biological system known to man. New imaging techniques are providing scientists with an entirely new perspec- tive on the study of the functional brain at a neural circuit level, enabling in-depth understanding of both physiological processes and animal models of neurological and psychiatric diseases which currently lack e↵ective treatments. These new tools come at the cost of meeting the challenges associated with the miniaturization of the hard- ware for in vivo recordings
