Publication number: 20220218278Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2020Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Nicholas Sinclair, Hugh McDermott, Arthur Wesley Thevathasan, Kristian Bulluss, James Fallon

Publication number: 20220192579Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Nicholas Sinclair, Hugh McDermott, James Fallon, Thushara Perera, Arthur Wesley Thevathasan, Kristian Bulluss
