  • Publication number: 20210267523
    Abstract: Provided herein are neural interface systems for a patient, the systems comprising an implantable sensor device and an external processing device. The implantable sensor device comprises: an implantable lead assembly for implantation above the skull and below the skin of the patient, and for recording physiologic parameter information of the patient; and an implantable transmitter for receiving the physiologic parameter information from the implantable lead assembly and for transmitting patient data that is based on the physiologic parameter information. The external processing device receives the patient data from the implantable transmitter. Methods of provided a neural interface are also described.

  • Patent number: 8386050
    Abstract: A system and method for a neural interface system with integral calibration elements may include a sensor including a plurality of electrodes to detect multicellular signals, an interface to process the signals from the sensor into a suitable control signal for a controllable device, such as a computer or prosthetic limb, and an integrated calibration routine to efficiently create calibration output parameters used to generate the control signal. A graphical user interface may be used to make various portions of the calibration and signal processing configuration more efficient and effective.

  • Patent number: 7991461
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a biological interface system and related methods are disclosed. The system may comprise a sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes for detecting multicellular signals emanating from one or more living cells of a patient and a processing unit configured to receive the multicellular signals from the sensor and process the multicellular signals to produce a processed signal. The processing unit may be configured to transmit the processed signal to a controlled device that is configured to receive the processed signal. The system is configured to perform an integrated patient training routine to generate one or more system configuration parameters that are used by the processing unit to produce the processed signal.

  • Publication number: 20040249302
    Abstract: System and methods consistent with the present invention decode brain signals. The system includes a receiver for receiving an input signal representing multiple individual neuron signals, and a frequency filter for separating the multiple neuron signals from the received input neural signal. A rectifier full wave rectifies the filtered neural signal and an integrator integrates the rectified neural signal to obtain an envelope of the rectified neural signal. As a result of this processing, sample values of the neural signal envelope represent neurological activity.
