AB  - We have developed a multichannel electrogmyography sensor system capable of 
      receiving and processing signals from up to 32 implanted myoelectric sensors 
      (IMES). The appeal of implanted sensors for myoelectric control is that 
      electromyography (EMG) signals can be measured at their source providing 
      relatively cross-talk-free signals that can be treated as independent control 
      sites. An external telemetry controller receives telemetry sent over a 
      transcutaneous magnetic link by the implanted electrodes. The same link provides 
      power and commands to the implanted electrodes. Wireless telemetry of EMG signals 
      from sensors implanted in the residual musculature eliminates the problems 
      associated with percutaneous wires, such as infection, breakage, and 
      marsupialization. Each implantable sensor consists of a custom-designed 
      application-specified integrated circuit that is packaged into a biocompatible RF 
      BION capsule from the Alfred E. Mann Foundation. Implants are designed for 
      permanent long-term implantation with no servicing requirements. We have a fully 
      operational system. The system has been tested in animals. Implants have been 
      chronically implanted in the legs of three cats and are still completely 
      operational four months after implantation.
