Abstract:A fully implantable, low-cost, wirelessly powered device for long-term neural stimulation was designed and successfully implemented in freely roaming rats over 4 weeks. The device is composed of a Bluetooth-enabled microcontroller (Simblee RFD77201) that was programmed in open-source software (Arduino IDE) to deliver cathodic electrical pulses by means of a miniature nerve cuff bipolar electrode at three different frequencies (1, 5, and 10 Hz) on Bluetooth wireless command for 10-second intervals (Fig. 1).
