Abstract

The possibility to use an electrical model empirically tuned with the probe impedance detected by in vivo measurements is here investigated. The model is proposed to make reliable preamplification stage that can follow the changes in the probe impedance after the implant in long term recording.. The simulation results here shown and compared with in vivo measurements look promising.
