PROBE SYSTEM FOR BRAIN APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a probe system for brain applications, especially for neurostimulation and/or neurorecording, comprising at least one lead for brain applications with a first number of stimulation and/or recording electrodes, the lead being connectable to a low-count connector element or having a low-count connector element, whereby the low-count connector element has a second number of connector contacts, whereby the second number of connector contacts is lower than the first number of the electrodes, whereby the low-count connector element is configured such that the low-count connector element can be directly and/or indirectly connected to at least one pulse generator, whereby the probe system further comprises a power-management unit, a controller unit, a communication unit, and a switching unit. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a deep brain stimulation system, a low-count connector element, and to a method of manufacturing a probe system for a deep brain stimulation system.
