Four papers from ICSL members have been accepted for lecture presentation in IEEE EMBC 2020, Montreal, Canada. Congrats everyone!

• Kassiri, “Fully-Implantable Optogenetic Neuro-Stimulators: A Design Review and A mm-Scale Directivity-Enhanced Example SoC”, Accepted as part of a Minisymposia to 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), July 20-24, 2020, Montréal, Canada.
• Yousefi*, A. Dabbaghian*, H. Kassiri, “Motion Artifact in Non-Contact EEG Recording: Characterization and Analog Front-End Design”, Accepted as full paper to 42nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), July 20-24, 2020, Montréal, Canada.

One of our ISCAS’20 papers titled “A 3.12pJ/C Ultra-Low-Power Direct-ADC Multi-Range Temperature Sensor for IoT Nodes” by Tayebeh Yousefi & Hossein Kassiri has been selected as one of conference’s top accepted papers invited for a special issue of IEEE TCAS-II.

Our paper is accepted for oral presentation in IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) 2020 in Boston, USA.

T. Yousefi, M. Taghadosi, A. Dabbaghian, R. Siu, G. Grau, G. Zoidl, H. Kassiri, “A 12.5mg mm-Scale Inductively-Powered Light-Directivity-Enhanced Highly-Linear Bidirectional Optogenetic Neuro-Stimulator”, IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), Boston, MA, March 2020. 

Here is the abstract:

A mm-scale self-contained bidirectional optogenetic stimulator is presented. A novel LED driving circuit is employed allowing for fully-linear control of optical stimulation with the smallest reported 200mV headroom, significantly boosting the electrical-to-optical energy-conversion efficiency. The energy efficiency is further improved (30.46x) by custom-designed light-directivity-enhancing printed ulenses. In addition to the two stimulation channels, the SoC integrates two recording channels and is powered through an on-chip coil. Electrical, optical, and in-vitro measurement results are reported.

Four papers from ICSL members (graduate and undergraduate students) have been accepted for lecture presentation in IEEE ISCAS 2020, Seville, Spain. Congrats everyone!
