Patent

CA 2281908

The invention concerns an adaptive senso-motor encoder with a central checking unit (3) for signal-processing functions, monitoring functions, control functions and/or external action functions, with a group of adaptive spatio- temporal filters for converting sensor signals into stimulation pulse sequences, and with an interface (2) for coupling the encoder (3) to an implantable microstructure (6, 7) for stimulating nerve or glia tissue, the interface being bi-directional. As well as enabling nerve cells to be controlled and active substances to be applied, the invention allows sensor signals and biophysical spontaneous activity parameters which are recorded at the implantation site to be monitored.

L'invention porte sur un codeur sensori-moteur adaptatif, doté d'une unité centrale de contrôle (3) assurant les fonctions de traitement des signaux, de surveillance, de commande et/ou d'intervention externe, doté également d'un ensemble de filtres spatio-temporels adaptatifs pour la conversion des signaux de capteur en séquences d'impulsions de stimulation, et d'une interface (2) pour le couplage du codeur (3) avec une microstructure implantable (6, 7) destinée à stimuler les tissus nerveux ou névrogliques, l'interface étant bi-directionnelle. Outre qu'elle permet de contrôler les cellules nerveuse et d'appliquer des substances actives, l'invention offre aussi la possiblité de surveiller les signaux de capteur et les paramètres biophysiques d'activité spontanée enregistrés sur le site d'implantation.
