摘要： Methods and systems for intracranial neurostimulation and/or sensing are disclosed. An intracranial signal transmission system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes a generally electrically insulating body having a head portion configured to be positioned at least proximate to an outer surface of a patient's skull, and a shaft portion configured to extend into an aperture in the patient's skull. The system can further include at least one electrical contact portion integrated with the support body. The at least one electrical contact portion can be positioned to transfer electrical signals to, from, or both to and from the patient's brain via an aperture in the patient's skull.

摘要： Aspects of the invention relate to intracranial electrodes and methods for implanting and using intracranial electrodes. In one particular example, an intracranial electrode includes a shaft having a distal contact surface adapted to electrically contact a surface of a patient's brain, a head associated with the shaft, and threads adapted to fix the electrode with respect to the patient's skull. This electrode may have an adjustable length adapted to change a contact force of the distal contact surface against the surface of the brain by adjusting the length of the electrode.
