However, there are still several issues to be considered: low-efficiency wireless power transmission; wireless data communication over restricted operating distance with high power consumption; and limited functionality, working either as a neural signal recorder or as a stimulator. To overcome these issues, we suggest a novel implantable wireless neural interface system for simultaneous neural signal recording and stimulation using a single cuff electrode. By using widely available commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, an easily reconfigurable implantable wireless neural interface system was implemented into one compact module. The implantable device includes a wireless power consortium (WPC)-compliant power transmission circuit, a medical implant communication service (MICS)-band-based radio link and a cuff-electrode path controller for simultaneous neural signal recording and stimulation. During in vivo experiments with rabbit models, the implantable device successfully recorded and stimulated the tibial and peroneal nerves while communicating with the external device. The proposed system can be modified for various implantable medical devices, especially such as closed-loop control based implantable neural prostheses requiring neural signal recording and stimulation at the same time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18010001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]],"date-time":"2017-12-21T12:16:14Z","timestamp":1513858574000},"page":"1","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["An Implantable Wireless Neural Interface System for Simultaneous Recording and Stimulation of Peripheral Nerve with a Single Cuff Electrode"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Ahnsei","family":"Shon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Research Center for Medical Devices and Rehabilitation Engineering, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, 330, Techno Sunhwan-ro, Yuga-myeon, Dalseong-gun, Daegu 42994, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun-Uk","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Research Center for Medical Devices and Rehabilitation Engineering, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, 330, Techno Sunhwan-ro, Yuga-myeon, Dalseong-gun, Daegu 42994, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiuk","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daegu Research Center for Medical Devices and Rehabilitation Engineering, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, 330, Techno Sunhwan-ro, Yuga-myeon, Dalseong-gun, Daegu 42994, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9527-0609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyungmin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, 5, Hwarang-ro 14-gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inchan","family":"Youn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Research Institute, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, 5, Hwarang-ro 14-gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1109\/86.481970","article-title":"Cutaneous whole nerve recordings used for correction of footdrop in hemiplegic man","volume":"3","author":"Haugland","year":"1995","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
