METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF TISSUES USING SIGNALS THAT MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF TISSUE IMPEDANCE

摘要

A tissue stimulation system that generates an electrical tissue stimulation signal configured to reduce tissue impedance and increase depth of signal penetration. The use of leads is dynamically controlled and altered between conducting biopotential voltages, conducting electrical tissue stimulation signals, and grounding, in response to a computational analysis of biopotential data acquired from a region of tissue to be stimulated.
