This book provides a complete overview of significant design challenges
in respect to circuit miniaturization and power reduction of the neural
recording system, along with circuit topologies, architecture trends,
and (post-silicon) circuit optimization algorithms. The introduced novel
circuits for signal conditioning, quantization, and classification, as
well as system configurations focus on optimized power-per-area
performance, from the spatial resolution (i.e. number of channels),
feasible wireless data bandwidth and information quality to the
delivered power of implantable system.
