OPTICAL STIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING

摘要

The invention relates to an optical stimulation device for stimulating nerve cells, wherein the stimulation device has at least one implant component, which is designed for implanting in a natural inner cavity of the body of a living being, through which cavity a bodily fluid flows, having the following features: a) the implant component has at least one supporting structure, which can be expanded in a radial direction for fastening in the natural inner cavity, b) a plurality of light sources is fastened to the supporting structure, which light sources are designed to emit light in the radial direction with respect to the supporting structure, c) a plurality of electrodes is fastened to the supporting structure, which electrodes are designed to capture electrical body signals, d) the supporting structure has a plurality of openings and/or channels, through which the bodily fluid can flow after implantation in the body. The invention further relates to a method for programming the parameter memory of a stimulation device.
