摘要:
This disclosure describes techniques for controlling spectral aggressors in a sensing device that uses a chopper amplifier to amplify an input signal prior to sampling the signal. In some examples, the techniques for controlling spectral aggressors may include generating a chopper-stabilized amplified version of an input signal based on a chopper frequency, sampling the chopper-stabilized amplified version of the input signal at a sampling rate to generate a sampled signal, and analyzing a target frequency band of the sampled signal. The chopper frequency and sampling rate may cause spectral interference that is generated due to the chopper frequency to occur in the sampled signal at one or more frequencies that are outside of the target frequency band of the sampled signal. The techniques for controlling spectral aggressors may reduce the noise caused by the chopper frequency in the resulting sampled signal, thereby improving the quality of the signal.
摘要:
Various embodiments concern identifying a biomarker in the presence of electrical stimulation. Various embodiments concern delivering electrical stimulation to a patient and sensing one or more signals while the electrical stimulation is being delivered, the one or more signals including data indicative of physiological activity. Various embodiments further include determining an intensity of the electrical stimulation and determining whether the data indicates the presence of a biomarker based on a variable threshold, the variable threshold being variable based on the intensity of the electrical stimulation. Various embodiments concern determining a relationship between stimulation intensity and a biomarker parameter to determine the variability of the variable threshold.
摘要:
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.

In some examples, a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit outputs a timing signal having a frequency and phase that is the same as a patient signal that is an input to the PLL circuit. The PLL circuit includes or is coupled to a storage circuit that stores information needed to cause the PLL circuit to maintain the frequency of the timing signal to the same frequency even after the patient signal is not available as an input.

An implantable medical device system and method detect oversensing of cardiac signals. A cardiac signal including first events and second events is acquired. Cardiac events are sensed in response to the cardiac signal crossing a first threshold. A filtered cardiac signal is determined from the sensed cardiac signal, and a second threshold is determined from the filtered cardiac signal. A sensed cardiac event is classified either as a first event when the sensed cardiac event corresponds to a filtered cardiac signal peak crossing the second threshold or a second event when the sensed cardiac event corresponds to a filtered cardiac signal peak being less than the second threshold. Classification of sensed cardiac events as second events is used in determining oversensing.
