Acute Stimulation and Modulation of Stereotyped High-Frequency Oscillations

The CorTec Brain Interchange (BIC) is an implantable system with sensing and stimulation capability dedicated to promoting brain computer interface and closed-loop neuromodulation research. It is an externally powered implant which can provide neural data to a nearby computing station (communication unit connected to a personal computer) continuously. In return, computing station controls the implant e.g. for generating therapeutic electrical stimulation to the brain. It is expected that BIC will catalyze translational applications of electroceuticals in human subject by making the neural data immediately available as well as permit the investigation of novel closed-loop neuromodulation applications.
