Abstract
A neural sensing system includes an interrogator that includes an optical head. The optical head is configured to transmit a light signal. The neural sensing system also includes a microprobe configured to contact tissue. The microprobe includes a transducer configured to receive the light signal and modulate the light signal with neural signal information sensed from the tissue. The microprobe also includes a retroreflector configured to reflect the modulated light signal back to the optical head of the interrogator.
