• [Aug 31, 2023] Our paper on Bi-Phasic Quasistatic Brain Communication for Fully Untethered Connected Brain Implants is now published online in Nature Electronics (2023 Impact Factor: 33.255). This paper demonstrates how the conductive properties of the brain tissue can be utilized for creating a low-loss, electro-quasistatic mode of communication from a wireless brain implant to an external aggregator, and enable broadband/wideband data transfer in a deep brain implant due to the low end-to-end channel loss. The work was done when I was still a Ph.D. student at Purdue University. A big thanks, and huge congratulations to our collaborators, Dr. Shreyas Sen and Dr. Krishna Jayant.
