A neuron recording system was provided. By using the gain-boosted topology, the amplifier input impedance can be increased while simultaneously reducing the noise. The system can be configured to record local field potentials (LFPs) and neuron spikes, respectively, with low-power consumption. With the flexible digital controller module (DCM), any subset of the recording channels can be activated for recording with independent sampling rate at each channel. A wireless interface to transmit recorded neuron data and an on-chip neuron processor to perform real-time signal processing can be incorporated in the system.
