摘要:
A device for sensing a physiological signal while stimulation therapy is being provided wherein the stimulation therapy involves application of a stimulation signal comprising a stimulation phase and a passive or active recharge phase, comprising: a sensing electrode; a blanking switch; an electrically conductive pathway connected between the sensing electrode and a blanking switch; a sensing amplifier; a controller configured to maintain the blanking switch in a non-conducting state during a stimulation phase of a stimulation signal and to maintain the blanking switch in a conducting state during at least a portion of the recharge phase.
摘要:
Systems and method may be used for interfacing with a patient. Systems may include a plurality of electrodes in electrical communication with a processor. The processor may determine a relative impedance difference between a first electrode and a second electrode, and apply a sub-therapeutic stimulation pulse to one of the first and second electrodes to adjust the relative impedance difference therebetween. Systems may include a processor capable of one or both of providing therapeutic stimulation to a patient via at least one electrode, and receiving electrical signals indicative of the patient's physiological activity. In some examples, the processor may simultaneously provide therapeutic stimulation to a patient and receive electrical signals from the patient indicative of the patient's physiological activity.
