Abstract
An implantable subsystem includes multiple implantable neural probes disposed on a flexible substrate. Each neural probe is configured to magnetically stimulate brain neurons. Each probe includes an array of magnetic neural stimulators that magnetically stimulate neurons. Each probe also includes neural probe activation circuitry comprising thin film switches disposed on the flexible substrate. The thin film switches are electrically coupled to row and column activation lines and selectively activate the magnetic neural stimulators in response to neural stimulation activation signals carried on the activation lines.
