  • Publication number: 20160055304
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and program products are disclosed for targeted electrical stimulation. A method includes determining, by a processor, a base configuration for each of a plurality of electrodes configured to transmit an electrical current towards a target area of a biological structure. A method includes calculating a cost associated with transmitting an electrical current to the target area according to the base configuration. A method includes modifying the base configuration in response to the calculated cost not satisfying a minimum cost threshold. The modified configuration clusters electrical current transmitted by each of the electrodes at the target area according to a resistivity map of the biological structure to minimize the cost of transmitting the electrical current. The cost is re-calculated according to the modified configuration and the configuration is modified until the minimum cost threshold is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8068892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electrode assemblies, neurostimulation systems and methods for implanting and using same. In exemplary embodiments, the electrode includes a body having a conductive contact surface dimensioned and configured to contact a patient's skull; and an electrode head associated with the body. The electrode head is sized for subcutaneous positioning adjacent the subject's skull, and the electrode body is of a length and configured such that the electrode body extends at least partially through the patient's skull but does not contact the patient's dura mater. As these electrodes need not directly contact the brain nor penetrate the dura mater to be effective in neurostimulatory applications, they avoid many of the disadvantages, e.g. increased risk of infection and invasive implantation procedures, associated with conventional electrode design.
