  • Patent number: 8738146
    Abstract: A control device implantable in a human body—includes a control unit and at least one electrode, said control unit being connected to each electrode to control stimulation and/or measurement thereof. The control unit includes: a timing dock; a memory storing configuration data defined to enable configuration of each electrode correlated with identifiers; a memory storing program data describing a time profile correlated with identifiers; an executor activatable to send each electrode electric pulses corresponding to a predetermined program according to a predetermined electrode configuration, according to the clock; a sequencer arranged to receive an ordered plurality of pairs, each including an electrode configuration identifier and a program identifier, and selectively to activate the executor with the electrode and program configuration pairs denoted by the pairs of identifiers received as an input, according to the order thereof and the clock.
