  • Publication number: 20210365117
    Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling a device using detected changes in a neural-related signal of a subject are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of controlling a device or software application comprises detecting a first change in a neural-related signal of a subject, detecting a second change in the neural-related signal, and transmitting an input command to the device upon or following the detection of the second change in the neural-related signal. The neural-related signal can be detected using a neural interface implanted within a brain of the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190336748
    Abstract: The present invention involves methods of stimulating tissue using one or more series of electrodes to apply energy through a combination of electrodes to stimulate various regions within an area of interest. Such an approach can triangulate areas where stimulation and/or treatment is needed for deep brain stimulation (DBS). In addition, the triangulation system and methods described herein can be applied to any portion of a body where stimulation of a particular area is required while using the vascular network to access tissue surrounding that particular area so that a combination of electrodes can be used to identify the region of interest that requires stimulation.
