  • Systems and methods for delivering focalized neurostimulation
    Patent number: 11478639
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering targeted neurostimulation therapies to the nervous system of a subject are provided. A set of electrodes can be strategically distributed around a target nerve, and the nerve can be activated though the electrodes using a channel-hopping interleaved pulse scheduling (CHIPS) stimulation strategy. The systems and methods can leverage the spatiotemporal summation of short, sub-threshold current pulses interleaved across two or more independent stimulation channels (hopping from channel to channel) and delivered across electrodes strategically placed in an interfering configuration around the target neural tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignees: THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS ON BEHALF OF ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Andres E. Pena Serrada, Ranu Jung, James Abbas, Kenneth Horch

  • Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback when interacting with virtual objects
    Patent number: 11402904
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing enhanced surface electrical neurostimulation and haptic feedback to a user within a simulation environment are provided. Enhanced surface electrical neurostimulation (eSENS) platforms are able to elicit distally referred tactile percepts while avoiding large charge densities as a method to deliver intuitive haptic feedback during functional tasks.
