Patent ReferencesNeurocybernetic prosthesis System for treatment of neurological disorders Patent #: 6016449 InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 962940 filed on 09/24/2001US Classes:607/45Treating mental or emotional disorderExaminersPrimary: Getzow, Scott M.International ClassA61N 001/36AbstractAn implantable neurostimulator adapted to provide adaptive electrical brain stimulation includes a detection subsystem for isolating an electrographic signal characteristic and a stimulation system for applying an adaptive stimulation signal based at least in part upon the electrographic signal characteristic and correlated with the electrographic signal. Undesired learning of and acclimation to stimulation characteristics are avoided and stimulation efficacy is improved by adapting or otherwise varying the adaptive stimulation signal in relation to the electrographic signal. | |
