    Abstract: An implantable neural interface system comprising: at least one electrode; a spine providing a passage for electrical conductors connectable to a pulse generator and the at least one electrode; at least one arm extending from the spine, wherein the electrode is positioned on the arm; and a strain relief feature configured to reduce strain in relative movement of portions of neural interface system to accommodate a curvature in an axis of a target on or in which the neural interface is provided.

    Abstract: A neurostimulation device 1 for non-destructively stimulating neural activity in a nerve 3 in proximity to a blood vessel 5. The neurostimulation device 1 comprises a catheter 7 for insertion into the blood vessel 5; a proximal electrode 11 offset from a distal electrode 9 along a length of the catheter 7; and an insulator 13 positioned between the proximal electrode 11 and the distal electrode 9 on the catheter 7. The insulator 13 has a contracted configuration in which the size of the insulator 13 allows the catheter 7 to travel inside the blood vessel 5. The insulator 13 has an expanded configuration in which the insulator 13 blocks blood flowing through the blood vessel between the proximal electrode 11 and the distal electrode 9. The neurostimulation device 1 comprises a stimulator 15 arranged to apply an electrical signal between the proximal electrode 11 and the distal electrode 9 when the insulator 13 is in the expanded configuration, thus inducing electrical activity in a wall portion of the blood vessel between the proximal and distal electrodes 9, 11. There is also an insulation portion between the distal electrode 9 and a distal end of the catheter 7 for offsetting the distal electrode 9 from a wall of the blood vessel 5.
