  • Publication number: 20220331129
    Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for transmitting signals through a device located in a blood vessel of an animal for stimulating and/or sensing activity of media proximal to the devices. The media can include tissue and/or fluid. A method of controlling an apparatus in communication with a brain machine interface. The method can include measuring a first neural activity in a first neural area and measuring a second neural activity in a second neural area. The first neural activity can be associated with a first intent. The method can include creating and delivering, via the processor, one or more first control signals to the apparatus upon comparing the second neural activity with the first neural activity, and confirming, based on this comparison, that the second neural activity is associated with the first intent.

  • Publication number: 20220305296
    Abstract: An endoluminal neurostimulation device includes a plurality of ultrasound transducer elements forming a transducer array. The plurality of transducer elements are provided on or in a substrate layer that is adapted for endoluminal delivery to a deployment site in a lumen of a subject. The transducer elements are operable to focus acoustic energy emitted from the transducer array by controlling one or more of the phase delay and time delay of ultrasound signals emitted from the plurality of transducer elements such that acoustic energy emitted from the transducer array is maximised at a neuronal target near the deployment site to achieve stimulation thereof.
