  • Methods and systems for blocking nerve activity propagation in nerve fibers
    Patent number: 11198005
    Abstract: A nerve activity blocking system (100) includes a blocking electrode (102) configured to generate a blocking electrical signal that blocks, at least in part, an action potential propagating through a nerve system of a body. using a low frequency alternating current. The blocking electrical signal prevents propagation of the action potential by overriding another electrical signal controlling an organ of the body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 14, 2021
    Assignee: Indiana University Research and Technology Corporation
