  • Publication number: 20240139518
    Abstract: A method of monitoring neural activity responsive to a stimulus in a brain, the method comprising: applying the stimulus to one or more of at least one electrode implanted in a target neural structure of the brain; detecting a resonant response from the target neural structure evoked by the stimulus at one or more of the at least one electrode in or near the target neural structure of the brain; and determining one or more waveform characteristics of the detected resonant response.

  • Publication number: 20220218278
    Abstract: A method includes applying a plurality of electrical stimuli having differing amplitudes at a first position in a brain of a patient. The method further includes, for each of the plurality of electrical stimuli, detecting a resonant response from a target neural structure in the brain, each resonant response evoked by a respective one of the electrical stimuli. The method also includes determining a change in one or more common waveform characteristics between two or more of the detected resonant responses and determining an effectiveness in delivering therapeutic stimulation at the first position based on the change.

  • Publication number: 20220192579
    Abstract: A method for monitoring neural activity responsive to a stimulus in a brain includes applying a first stimulus to at least one electrode implanted in the brain. The first stimulus includes a first plurality of bursts of stimulation. The method also includes detecting high frequency oscillations (HFOs) between about 200 Hz and about 500 Hz due to neuronal activity at one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain at least partially during application of the first stimulus, and determining one or more waveform characteristics of the HFOs. The method further includes generating a second stimulus comprising a second plurality of bursts of stimulation, wherein one or more waveform characteristics of the second stimulus is dependent on the one of more waveform characteristics of the HFOs, and applying the second stimulus to one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain.
