Publication number: 20240131335Abstract: A system for performing spinal cord stimulation on a subject is disclosed. The system comprises one or more recording arrays, at least one stimulation array, and a processor. The recording arrays, which may be minimally invasively inserted to a target recording site of the brain, include recording electrodes having a diameter of less than about 1 mm and having a spacing of less than about 1 mm therebetween. The stimulation array, which may be minimally invasively inserted to a target stimulation site within the nervous tissue, includes stimulation electrodes. The processor is configured to receive more recorded signals from the recording arrays at the target recording site, determine an electrophysiological state of the brain based on the recorded signals, and deliver electrical stimulation to the target stimulation site through the stimulation array based on the determined electrophysiological state in order to affect the electrophysiological state.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: PRECISION NEUROSCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin I. RAPOPORT, Craig H. MERMEL, Daniel TRIETSCH, Mark HETTICK, Elton HO, Kazutaka TAKAHASHI

Publication number: 20240131342Abstract: A system for performing deep brain stimulation on a brain of a patient is disclosed. The system comprises one or more recording arrays, at least one stimulation array, and a processor. The recording arrays, which may be minimally invasively inserted to a target recording site of the brain, include recording electrodes having a diameter of less than about 1 mm and having a spacing of less than about 1 mm therebetween. The stimulation array, which may be inserted to a target stimulation site within the deep brain, includes at least one stimulation electrode. The processor is configured to receive one or more recorded signals from the recording arrays at the target recording site, determine a neurological state of the brain based on the recorded signals, and deliver electrical stimulation to the target stimulation site through the stimulation array based on the neurological state in order to electrically stimulate the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: PRECISION NEUROSCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin I.

Publication number: 20240115178Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for neural interfaces. Neural interfaces may form minimally invasive and high-scalable bidirectional brain-computer interfaces, which may be used in the treatment of a variety of disorders of the brain and nervous system. Disclosed are methods for a minimally invasive technique for implanting neural interfaces, a neural interface configured to be placed between the brain and the dura and configured to record from and/or stimulate the cortical surface. Also disclosed are methods for attaching a plurality of microelectrode arrays to form a neural interface device, and fabricating neural interfaces including microelectrode arrays and pockets to facilitate their insertion. The disclosed systems and methods also include neural decoding techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: PRECISION NEUROSCIENCE CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin I. RAPOPORT, Demetrios Philip Papageorgiou, Mark Hettick, Adam Poole, Elton Ho

Publication number: 20230120082Abstract: Disclosed is a stent-mesh and microelectrode assembly that is deployable using a catheter or cannula to form a neural interface for recording and/or stimulation of neural tissue. In some embodiments, the assembly may include a thin-film microelectrode array attached to a spring-like stent-mesh component. The thin-film microelectrode array may include an electrode body having two lateral wing-like appendages located distal to a thin-film flexible cable that terminates at the proximal end in a thin-film connector region. The stent-mesh may be attached to the thin-film microelectrode array and configured to be advanced to a target area in a collapsed state and then expanded after reaching the target area to transition the thin-film microelectrode array to a deployed configuration. Accordingly, the assembly may deliver the thin-film microelectrode array to a target area in a minimally invasive manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: PRECISION NEUROSCIECES CORPORATIONInventors: Mark HETTICK, Demetrios philip Papageorgiou, Adam Poole, Benjamin Issac Rapoport
