Abstract: A data acquisition device for providing continuous data acquisition across a plurality of stages of care through a plurality of functioning modes is disclosed. The data acquisition device includes two inputs coupled to an instrumentation amplifier, wherein each input provides an input signal to the instrumentation amplifier, a mode selection module coupled to the instrumentation amplifier, operable to select either an AC mode or one of a plurality of DC modes for processing the input signals, wherein the mode is determined based at least in part on analyzing at least one of a plurality of parameters associated with a plurality of stages of care, and a data collection module operable to process the received signals using the selected mode.

Abstract: A cortical stimulator system is provided. The system may include; a stimulation device having a switch configured to selectively control various electrodes; and a user interface device operatively connected to the stimulation device for controlling the electronic switch and stimulation device, the cortical stimulator system configured to provide a report of provided stimulation. A method of operating a cortical stimulator may be provided. The method may include: connecting a set of probes to the cortical stimulator, selecting parameters regarding a signal to be sent to the set of probes, sending a signal to the set of probes; observing the response of a subject having the set of probes contacting the subjects brain when the signal is sent to the probes, entering the observed response into the cortical stimulator, associating the response to a specific set of probes, and generating a report describing the response and associated probes.
