Wireless systems and methods for the detection of neural events using onboard processing

Abstract

A neural event electrode interface is configured to communicate with electrodes that capture electrical signals that are associated with at least one neuron. A neural event waveform processor is configured to extract neural events from the electrical signals. A wireless transmitter is configured to wirelessly transmit the neural events that are extracted from the electrical signals.

1 . A method for processing neural events comprising:
 capturing electrical signals that are associated with at least one neuron;   extracting neural events from the electrical signals that were captured;   wirelessly transmitting the neural events that were extracted from the electrical signals that were captured;   wirelessly receiving prosthesis stimulation waveforms that are based upon the neural events that were wirelessly transmitted; and   providing the prosthesis stimulation waveforms that were wirelessly received to a prosthesis.   
   
   
       2 . A method for processing neural events comprising:
 capturing electrical signals that are associated with at least one neuron;   extracting neural events from the electrical signals that were captured;   wirelessly transmitting to a biomimetric device the neural events that were extracted from the electrical signals that were captured;   wirelessly receiving neural stimulation waveforms from the biomimetric device in response to the neural events that were wirelessly transmitted to the biomimetric device; and   providing the neural stimulation waveforms that were wirelessly received to at least one neuron.
