Apparatus for capturing EEG signals comprising an implantable signal capture unit (34) connected to a proximal end of at least one implantable electrode (32) is implanted by passing a tubular guide sheath (24,26) along a subcutaneous path from an implantation site, passing the distal end of a said electrode through said guide sheath to bring said signal capture unit to said implantation site, and withdrawing said guide sheath from the electrode whilst progressively axially splitting the guide sheath to enable its removal. The signal capture unit may have a housing having at least two electrode contacts on its for capturing EEG signals in operative connection with circuitry within said housing for receiving said EEG signals and for wireless transmission thereof for reception at a location exterior to the body of the patient.

L'invention porte sur un appareil, pour capturer des signaux d'EEG, qui comporte une unité de capture de signal implantable (34) connectée à l'extrémité proximale d'au moins une électrode implantable (32), et qui est implanté en faisant passer une gaine de guide tubulaire (24, 26) le long d'un trajet sous-cutané à partir d'un site d'implantation, puis en faisant passer l'extrémité distale de ladite électrode à travers ladite gaine de guide pour amener ladite unité de capture de signal vers ledit site d'implantation, et en retirant ladite gaine de guide de l'électrode, tout en divisant axialement progressivement la gaine de guide afin de pouvoir la retirer. L'unité de capture de signal peut avoir un boîtier ayant au moins deux contacts d'électrode sur celui-ci pour capturer des signaux d'EEG en connexion opérationnelle avec des éléments de circuit à l'intérieur dudit boîtier pour recevoir lesdits signaux d'EEG et pour transmettre ceux-ci sans fil pour une réception au niveau d'un emplacement extérieur au corps du patient.
