Schematic representation of a Bidirectional Hyper-Connected Neural System—BHNS. High frequency (> 1 MHz) volume conduction is used to wirelessly power and communicate with implantable devices for sensing and stimulation. The high-level controller of the external system communicates with several low-level control units that deliver current bursts through external textile electrodes. The envisioned wireless implantable devices will have a thread-like conformation to facilitate their deployment by injection. These devices will consist of a flexible body with two electrodes at their opposite ends (Electrodes ‘A’ and ‘B’) and their electronics will be integrated in an ASIC
