| 摘要 | A stimulation apparatus includes a stimulation lead (102), a multiplexer (114), a stimulation signal generator (116), and a signal detector (120). The stimulation lead (102) includes a plurality of stimulation electrodes (112) disposed in an array about a distal portion of the lead body (110). The arrangement of the electrodes (112) facilitates the controlled steering of stimulating electrical field (118) in three dimensions. Four dimensional field steering may also be provided. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An apparatus comprising: a lead having a longitudinal axis, the lead configured to be inserted in a tissue in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; and a plurality of electrodes carried on a portion of the lead and disposed about the longitudinal axis in a two-dimensional array on the portion of the lead, each electrode having an n-fold rotational symmetry, n being an integer greater than or equal to three, wherein the portion of the lead on which the plurality of electrodes are carried has a substantially constant width along the longitudinal axis, and wherein a field generated by delivery of electrical stimulation via the electrodes is steerable in three dimensions. | ||
