A new method of transcutaneous coupling for neural prostheses
2007

In neural stimulation chip designs, there is usually an implanted subdermal microcontroller.Gan et al. offer another chronic solution: simply inductively couple a subdermal stimulation wire to an external stimulator, where the wire starts with a coil, and then leads to a neuron or a population of neurons to stimulate when there is sufficient current flow.

Big problem: how do you allow for multiwire selectivity?
What are the maximum and minimum sizes of the coils necessary to stimulate neurons? 
-- with small coil sizes, it may be possible to assign each to pick up only certain wireless signals (right?)
