  • Charge steering high density electrode array
    Patent number: 10124160
    Abstract: Technology for deep brain stimulating including devices, systems, computer circuitry, and associated methods is provided. A deep brain stimulating device (100) can include a semiconductor substrate, an array of electrodes (140) coupled to the semiconductor substrate, and circuitry operable to control the array of electrodes (140). Each electrode (142) can be operable to function as an anode, a cathode, a common, or a float independent of other electrodes in the array to create highly configurable electric fields (122, 124).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 16, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: University of Utah Research Foundation
    Inventors: Alan Dale Dorvall, II, Andrew Colin Willsie
