Abstract

Biomedical implants in accordance with various embodiments of the invention can be implemented in many different ways. The implants can be configured to receive power and transmit data, both wirelessly and simultaneously. Such devices can be configured to receive power from an external source and transmit data, such as but not limited to recorded neural data and/or other biological data, to outside the body. In many cases, the data is transmitted to the device that delivers power to the implant. For example, the power and data transmission system can be implemented with a pair of transceivers. The implant transceiver can receive power wirelessly though an external transceiver while simultaneously transmitting data to the external transceiver. In several embodiments, both forward (power) and reverse (data) links use the same pair of inductive coils in the transceivers, one coil mounted in the implant and the other in the external unit.
