- Read 'IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, vol.27, december 1992'
- It's about a multishanked probe, designed for highly selective
- long-term stimulation of neuronal assemblies in the central nervous
- system. It incorporates on-chip (8 bits) DACs to stimulate the
- nerves. Data can be pumped in with 4MHz bandwith. There are
- microphotos also published, so it has been done...
