Core clinical engineering and protocols for Neural Artifact Suppression.
Peripheral nerve action potentials measure only 1 to 10 microvolts, while adjacent muscular electromyographic (EMG) signals measure in millivolts and electrical stimulation pulses reach several volts. Attempting to record nerve intent during active stimulation easily saturates sensitive bio-amplifiers.
NeuroLiaison incorporates specialized mixed-signal ASIC architectures with rapid artifact blanking switches: the recording front-end is physically disconnected for hundreds of microseconds during the stimulation pulse, recovering to baseline in under 1 millisecond to capture subsequent natural neural spikes.
