Low-noise sensor interface circuits for implantable brain interfaces by Zhang, Beixi

“…The technological of low -noise sensor interface circuits is a frontier science in nowadays.If the research of this kind of circuit is successful,the circuit will be widely used in medicine,for example,the implantable brain interfaces.In this report,an new kind of neural amplifier will be designed and it uses a MOS-bipolar pseudo-resistor element to form this circuit.Certainly,this amplifier can amplify low-frequency signals with low-noise.This amplifier is fully integrated with characteristics like low power consumption and small area,and it can record a large range frequency of biological signal. …”

Social constructs and how not to ground them by Baysan, E

“…According to a current trend in social ontology, by articulating claims of social construction in terms of metaphysical grounding, we can shed light on the metaphysics of social construction and understand deep truths about social identities like race and gender. Focusing on two recent accounts, I argue that this move from social construction to grounding has limitations. …”
