| Abstract | A telestimulatorfor brain-machine interface of a rat enables an operator to remotely deliver the electrical biphasic stimuli pulses train to three regions of the rat’s brain. The system composes of two major components: a central workstation transmitter which is controlled by the operator via PC or laptop, and a backpack receiver module integrated with microprocessorsthat connect to specific implanted brain location. The backpack module is made miniature and low weight so that the rat can easily carry it when roaming. Besides, the remote command from the PC transmitted to the backpack module configures the microprocessors to generate biphasic electrical stimuli pulses trainwith adjustable voltage’s amplitudesas programmed. Thesystem affects various behaviors of the experimental rats during brain-stimulation.Results of training courses of the rats show that theycan be guided to move along the specific directions with high accuracyusing the presented telestimulator. |
