  • Stimulation electrode selection
    Patent number: 9042989
    Abstract: Bioelectrical signals may be sensed within a brain of a patient with a plurality of sense electrode combinations. A stimulation electrode combination for delivering stimulation to the patient to manage a patient condition may be selected based on the frequency band characteristics of the sensed signals. In some examples, a stimulation electrode combination associated with the sense electrode combination that sensed a bioelectrical brain signal having a relatively highest relative beta band power level may be selected to deliver stimulation therapy to the patient. Other frequency bands characteristics may also be used to select the stimulation electrode combination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2015
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: David L. Carlson, Randy M. Jensen, Timothy J. Denison, Jianping Wu, Gabriela C. Molnar, Scott R. Stanslaski, William J. Marks, Jr.
