Hung Cao & Todd Coleman 
Interfacing Bioelectronics and Biomedical Sensing 

This book addresses the fundamental challenges underlying bioelectronics and tissue interface for clinical investigation. Appropriate for biomedical engineers and researchers, the authors cover topics ranging from retinal implants to restore vision, implantable circuits for neural implants, and intravascular electrochemical impedance to detect unstable plaques. In addition to these chapters, the authors also document the approaches and issues of multi-scale physiological assessment and monitoring in both humans and animal models for health monitoring and biological investigations; novel biomaterials such as conductive and biodegradable polymers to be used in biomedical devices; and the optimization of wireless power transfer via inductive coupling for batteryless and wireless implantable medical devices. In addition to engineers and researchers, this book is also an ideal supplementary or reference book for a number of courses in biomedical engineering programs, such as bioinstrumentation, MEMS/Bio MEMS, bioelectronics and sensors, and more.

• Analyzes and discusses the electrode-tissue interfaces for optimization of biomedical devices.
  


• Introduces novel biomaterials to be used in next-generation biomedical devices.


• Discusses high-frequency transducers for biomedical applications.
