摘要:
Described herein are implantable devices configured to detect an electrophysiological signal. Certain exemplary implantable devices comprise a first electrode and a second electrode configured to engage a tissue and detect an electrophysiological signal; an integrated circuit comprising a multi-transistor circuit and a modulation circuit configured to modulate a current based on the electrophysiological signal; and an ultrasonic transducer configured to emit an ultrasonic backscatter encoding the electrophysiological signal from the tissue based on the modulated current. Also described herein are systems that include one or more implantable devices and an interrogator comprising one or more ultrasonic transducers configured to transit ultrasonic waves to the one or more implantable devices or receive ultrasonic backscatter from the one or more implantable devices. Further described are computer systems for operating one or more implantable devices, and methods of detecting an electrophysiological signal in a tissue.
