This paper describes improvements to the technique of velocity selective recording (VSR) in which multiple neural signals are matched and summed to identify excited axon populations in terms of velocity. This form of recording has been termed intrinsic velocity selective recording (IVSR). The signals are acquired using a multi-electrode cuff (MEC) which is now available as a component for use in implantable neuroprostheses. The improvements outlined in the paper involve the use of bandpass filters at the output of the system which allows a higher level of selectivity to be obtained than is possible using IVSR.

In this paper the design, fabrication and testing of a 10-channel array of identical amplifiers suitable for velocity selective electroneurogram (ENG) recording is described. The overall gain per channel is 10,000 and the total inputreferred rms noise in a bandwidth 1 Hz -5 KHz is 290 nV per channel. The active area is 12 mm 2 and the power consumption is 24 mW from ±2.5 V power supplies.
