A system for planning and/or providing a therapy for neural applications

摘要

The present invention relates to a system (10) for planning and/or providing a therapy for neural applications, especially for neurostimulation and/or neurorecording applications, comprising at least one lead (300), the lead (300) having a plurality of electrodes (132), at least one electrode (132) being capable to form an active contact (134) with a first potential, wherein the system (10) comprises at least one electrode potential adjusting means (400) which is configured such that at least one selected electrode (136) at (a) varying distance(s) from the active contact (134) may be provided with a second potential different from the first potential of the active contact (134) for the purpose of focusing the stimulation field (F) provided by the active contact (134). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system for neural applications (100) and to a method for focusing the stimulation field provided by an active contact (134) of a lead (300).
