Claim 0:
1. A method of modulating neural activity, comprising:
receiving ultrasonic waves at an ultrasonic transducer on a fully implanted closed-loop neuromodulation device;
converting the ultrasonic waves into an electrical energy that powers the device;
detecting, using the device, an electrophysiological signal transmitted by a selectively targeted subset of nerve fibers within a nerve, wherein the selectively targeted subset of nerve fibers consists of less than all nerve fibers within the nerve;
generating, using the device, a stimulation signal based on the detected electrophysiological signal;
emitting, using the device, an electrical pulse to the nerve based on the generated stimulation signal.
