Abstract: A plurality of first icons representing activity and a plurality of second icons representing satisfaction for the activity are stored in a memory. A user selects at least one first icon and at least one second icon. The selected first icon and the selected second icon are stored in the memory. A plurality of third icons including the selected first icon and a plurality of fourth icons including the selected second icon are displayed and the user selects a least one first icon and at least one second icon selected before in order from the plurality of third icons and the plurality of fourth icons, respectively. The at least one first icon and the at least one second icon currently selected are compared with the at least one first icon and the at least one second icon stored in the memory to calculate a memory score of the user.

Abstract: A reinforced medical electrical lead for neurological applications has a reinforced construction for resisting the detachment of electrodes and lead connection terminals, thereby improving the robustness of the lead and extending the life of the lead by reducing the likelihood that a further surgical procedure will be required to remove the lead for repair or replacement thereof. The present reinforced lead construction maintains the integrity of the electrical connection between the conductor and the respective electrode and lead connection terminal by incorporating several reinforcing features in the lead construction in contrast to conventional lead constructions where it is possible to pull the electrodes and lead connection terminals away from their contact points with relatively little force.

Abstract: This is a neurostimulator that is configured to treat epilepsy and other neurological disorders using certain stimulation strategies, particularly changing various pulse parameters, during the imposition of a burst of those pulses. The invention includes the processes embodying those stimulation strategies.
