“…Despite the challenges, the development of wireless-based neural interface technology will support the study of freely moving animals away from highly controlled laboratories [41]- [44], which will transform research in neurosciences considering that cognitive processes emerge from brain-bodyenvironment interactions [45]. In parallel, BTC systems may underlie the next wireless communications revolution.…”

This paper presents the first comprehensive tutorial on a promising research field located at the frontier of two wellestablished domains, neurosciences and wireless communications, motivated by the ongoing efforts to define the Sixth Generation of Mobile Networks (6G). In particular, this tutorial first provides a novel integrative approach that bridges the gap between these two seemingly disparate fields. Then, we present the state-ofthe-art and key challenges of these two topics. In particular, we propose a novel systematization that divides the contributions into two groups, one focused on what neurosciences will offer to future wireless technologies in terms of new applications and systems architecture (Neurosciences for Wireless Networks), and the other on how wireless communication theory and nextgeneration wireless systems can provide new ways to study the brain (Wireless Networks for Neurosciences). For the first group, we explain concretely how current scientific understanding of the brain would enable new applications within the context of a new type of service that we dub brain-type communications and that has more stringent requirements than human-and machine-type communication. In this regard, we expose the key requirements of brain-type communication services and discuss how future wireless networks can be equipped to deal with such services. Meanwhile, for the second group, we thoroughly explore modern communication systems paradigms, including Internet of Bio-Nano Things and wireless-integrated brainmachine interfaces, in addition to highlighting how complex systems tools can help bridging the upcoming advances of wireless technologies and applications of neurosciences. Brain-controlled vehicles are then presented as our case study to demonstrate for both groups the potential created by the convergence of neurosciences and wireless communications, probably in 6G. In summary, this tutorial is expected to provide a largely missing articulation between neurosciences and wireless communications while delineating concrete ways to move forward in such an interdisciplinary endeavor.

“…There are many different challenges that are being focused on the wireless implants. The major attention is actually developing prototypes for either primate models as well as freelymoving animals [40]- [43]. Since most of works found to that are either theoretical or tested in highly controlled laboratories, it is hard to affirm that we know about all the challenges of these systems from a practical perspective.…”

Brain-controlled vehicles are then presented as our case study to demonstrate for both groups the potential created by the convergence of neurosciences and wireless communications in 6G. All in all, this tutorial is expected to provide a largely missing articulation between these two emerging fields while delineating concrete ways to move forward in such an interdisciplinary endeavor.

“…The non-human primate model system has provided valuable information about overall device performance (Barrese et al, 2013), especially under challenging mechanical circumstances, such as a 3G acceleration event (Santhanam et al, 2007); however, non-human primates are expensive test-beds for initial studies of newly designed device modifications. The swine is an emerging pre-clinical model, specifically, the Yucatan mini-pig (Borton et al, 2011; Agha et al, 2013). The swine model offers the advantages of sulcogyral topography, as well as considerably better human anatomical and physiological semblance than rodents or felines.…”

Materials approaches for modulating neural tissue responses to implanted microelectrodes through mechanical and biochemical means

Implantable intracortical microelectrodes face an uphill struggle for widespread clinical use. Their potential for treating a wide range of traumatic and degenerative neural disease is hampered by their unreliability in chronic settings. A major factor in this decline in chronic performance is a reactive response of brain tissue, which aims to isolate the implanted device from the rest of the healthy tissue. In this review we present a discussion of materials approaches aimed at modulating the reactive tissue response through mechanical and biochemical means. Benefits and challenges associated with these approaches are analyzed, and the importance of multimodal solutions tested in emerging animal models are presented.
