Abstract: A system for brain stimulation of a patient is provided, the system having an implantable stimulator, at least one sensor component for acquiring at least one measure indicative of patient's mood, and at least one implantable stimulation electrode, designed for providing electrical pulses stimulating inside the patient's brain. The at least one stimulation electrode is connectable, through an implantable connector, to the implantable stimulator, the implantable stimulator having at least one programmable channel for conducting the electrical stimulation pulses to the at least one stimulation electrode, and being adapted for receiving continuous input signals from the at the least one sensor component. The system also has a computational unit for processing the at least one measure, and a patient's body external control interface (5) for patient and/or physician interactions.

Abstract: An implantable electrode array is provided, the electrode array comprising a substrate, the substrate having a front side and a back side, and a first number of first electrodes. The first electrodes are formed as contact pads, and are arranged on the front side. The substrate comprises a second number of prefabricated holes at predetermined positions, the holes extending from the front side through the substrate towards the back side, and being arranged such the holes may be penetrated by elongated electrodes placed at the predetermined positions.
