Take CBT

Question

What is a significant design constraint for devices that interface with the Nervous System, as highlighted in the document?
Options
A Implants must match bone stiffness.
B Signals are microvolts, requiring high input impedance and shielding to avoid noise.
Correct Answer
C Devices must filter 180 L of blood/day.
D Pumps must handle shear stress >400 Pa.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 5, under 'Design constraint' for the Nervous System, states: 'Signals are microvolts (the electrical activity being transmitted is incredibly weak and delicate) Devices need high input impedance and shielding to avoid noise.'

Hint

Consider the magnitude of electrical signals in the nervous system and the challenges it poses for device design.
