    Wireless brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) are safe for use. Simulations show that electromagnetic emissions from BMI telemetry units comply with safety standards, ensuring no harmful tissue heating occurs.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Electromagnetics

    Background:

    • Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) use implanted microelectrodes for cortical stimulation.
    • Wireless BMI transmitters must adhere to electromagnetic emission and tissue heating safety limits (IEEE, ICNIRP).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To simulate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and tissue heating for wireless BMIs.
    • To generate pre-compliance safety data for BMI systems and telemetry units.
    • To evaluate safety across various BMI system configurations.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a multi-layered human head model with wireless, modular BMIs.
    • Simulated electromagnetic emissions from an external telemetry unit.
    • Analyzed SAR and temperature increase in simulated tissues.

    Main Results:

    • Simulated SAR levels complied with ICNIRP and IEEE reference levels.
    • Maximum tissue temperature increase remained within permissible limits.
    • Results were consistent regardless of the number of BMI implants.

    Conclusions:

    • The described simulation approach provides benchmark data for BMI electromagnetic emissions.
    • Wireless BMI systems, as configured and tested, demonstrate electromagnetic safety.
    • The safety of BMI electromagnetic emissions is confirmed across different system configurations.
