Next-generation invasive neural interfaces require fully implantable wireless systems that can record from a large number of channels simultaneously. However, transferring the recorded data from the implant to an external receiver emerges as a significant challenge due to the high throughput. To address this challenge, this article presents a neural recording system-on-chip that achieves high resource and wireless bandwidth efficiency by employing on-chip feature extraction. Energy–area-efficient 10-bit 20-kS/s front end amplifies and digitizes the neural signals within the local field potential (LFP) and action potential (AP) bands. The raw data from each channel are decomposed into spectral features using a compressed Hadamard transform (CHT) processor. The selection of the features to be computed is tailored through a machine learning algorithm such that the overall data rate is reduced by 80% without …
