Abstract
A neural modulation system includes neural encoder in a patient-external device. The neural encoder converts input signals into a neural stimulation pattern and wirelessly transmits the neural stimulation pattern to a patient-internal device. The patient internal device includes a flexible substrate and a two dimensional array of neural probes disposed on the flexible substrate. Each neural probe includes an array of magnetic neural stimulators and/or an array of neural sensors along with probe addressing circuitry that allow for addressing the magnetic neural stimualtors and/or neural sensors. Control circuitry in the implantable device controls activation of the magnetic neural stimulators and/or neural sensors according to the neural stimulation pattern via the probe addressing circuitry.
