Low-power implantable neural chip tracks communication across brain regions

Low-power implantable neural chip tracks communication across brain regions

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic technique that delivers electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain via an implant to modulate neural activity.

Neural Chip Powers Adaptive DBS for Depression

Treating psychiatric illnesses with deep brain stimulation requires tracking multi-region brain networks. EPFL researchers developed LogSync, an ultra-low-power system-on-chip operating under 200 microwatts that decodes oscillatory synchrony to deliver real-time, responsive neuromodulation.
