Abstract

This paper describes an architecture for the massively parallel digitization of neural action potentials. The scheme achieves simultaneous data compression and channel multiplexing through wired-OR interactions within an array of single-slope A/D converters. The achieved compression is lossy but effective at retaining the critical samples belonging to action potential spikes. Simulation results using ex-vivo experimental data from a 512-channel array show compression rates up to ∼73x while maintaining ≥90% reconstruction coverage for parasol cells in the primate retina.
