Fig. 5

Microsystem superimposed over pig 3, 20 days post-operative. No signs of irritation or inflammation from device or implant-related tissue disruption. Recordings were made with a ”wand,” consisting of an RF coil (delivering power), and a photodiode (receiving data), gently placed on the skin surface. The figure impresses the importance and advantages of removing percutaneous connections from neural prosthetic devices in favor of less intrusive wireless telemetry.
