| 20110009922 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING A COGNITIVE FUNCTION - In many aspects, the invention relates to systems and methods for providing cognitive therapy through stimulation of activating and inhibiting neurons in the brain, thereby modulating neural firing rhythms. The stimulation of neurons is controlled through a feedback process whereby neuron firing rhythms are altered based on naturally occurring electrical and chemical activity in the brain. Neurons in specific regions of the brain may be targeted in order to establish neural signaling pathways and establish communication between these regions. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20090254134 | Hybrid ultrasound/electrode device for neural stimulation and recording - An invasive device that uses electrodes in conjunction with ultrasound is used to enhance and localize electrical recordings and stimulation of neurons. The current design is confined to operate within an elongated geometry for ease of insertion and minimal disruption to brain tissue. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090248099 | Systems and methods for improving memory in Alzheimer's patients - In many aspects, the invention relates to systems and methods for providing memory therapy by modulating neural firing rhythms, in particular in Alzheimer's patients. The stimulation of neurons is controlled through a feedback process whereby neuron firing rhythms are altered based on naturally occurring electrical and chemical activity in the brain. Neurons in the nucleus basalis and dentate gyrus may be targeted in order to establish neural signaling pathways and establish communication between these regions. | 10-01-2009 |
