Publication number: 20220192579Abstract: A method for monitoring neural activity responsive to a stimulus in a brain includes applying a first stimulus to at least one electrode implanted in the brain. The first stimulus includes a first plurality of bursts of stimulation. The method also includes detecting high frequency oscillations (HFOs) between about 200 Hz and about 500 Hz due to neuronal activity at one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain at least partially during application of the first stimulus, and determining one or more waveform characteristics of the HFOs. The method further includes generating a second stimulus comprising a second plurality of bursts of stimulation, wherein one or more waveform characteristics of the second stimulus is dependent on the one of more waveform characteristics of the HFOs, and applying the second stimulus to one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Nicholas Sinclair, Hugh McDermott, James Fallon, Thushara Perera, Arthur Wesley Thevathasan, Kristian Bulluss

Publication number: 20210228107Abstract: A system, method and device for characterising a joint between a first body region and a second body region is disclosed. The system may comprise a reference portion configured to be coupled to the first body region, a movable portion configured to be coupled to the second body region and a movement source configured to move the movable portion relative to the reference portion, such as in a direction of the joint. A set of one or more sensors may collect a set of one or more measurements related to the movement between the reference portion and the movable portion, for example to determine a force between the movable portion and the body region coupled thereto, and/or a power consumed by the movement source. The measurements may be used to characterise the joint, such as by determining a rigidity of the joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2019Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Thushara Perera, Nichlas Sinclair, David Angus Begg
