Intracranial neuronal recordings are essential for understanding neuronal function. They can be classified into levels like electrocorticography (ECoG)/local field potentials (LFP) and neuronal spiking activity. Typically, wired systems have been used to conduct these recordings; however, they have been linked to drawbacks, including infections, subdural hematomas, and are limited to a clinical setting, all of which can be detrimental to the patients’ quality of life. To address these issues, wireless biotelemetric devices have been increasingly adopted; nevertheless, they are coupled with their own drawbacks like bulky components and heat-generating batteries. Miniaturized battery-free systems have been developed for addressing these concerns, …
