Signal Processing In Physiological Noise
US Patent:
2010029, Nov 18, 2010
Filed:
May 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/776272
Inventors:
Srinivasamurthy Ravi Prakash - Arlington MA, US
Barbara Herrmann - Walpole MA, US
Steven D. Rauch - Watertown MA, US
Barbara Herrmann - Walpole MA, US
Steven D. Rauch - Watertown MA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/00
US Classification:
600554, 600559, 600558
Abstract:
The invention relates to systems and methods for estimating a response of at least a part of a physiological system to a first deterministic stimulus signal. The methods include separating a measured first signal into a plurality of segments, each segment representing a response of the physiological system to a corresponding portion of the first stimulus signal and generating a template signal representing the plurality of segments. The methods further include calculating a measure of similarity of each segment in the plurality of segments to the template signal to provide a set of scalar quantities, and determining a metric representing a characteristic of the response of at least a part of the physiological system to the first stimulus signal.
Calibration Of Cochlear Implant Dynamic Range
US Patent:
2007005, Mar 8, 2007
Filed:
Sep 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/470449
Inventors:
Donald Eddington - Belmont MA, US
Barbara Herrmann - Walpole MA, US

Assignee:
MASSACHUSETTS EYE & EAR INFIRMARY - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607059000
Abstract:
A computer-readable medium has, encoded thereon, software for executing a method for detecting coupling between electrodes of a neural prosthesis implanted to stimulate neural tissue. The software includes instructions for stimulating a first electrode of the prosthesis with a first test signal having a first frequency; stimulating a second electrode of the prosthesis with a second test signal at a second frequency that differs from the first frequency; and identifying an occurrence of a beat signal indicative of an interaction between the first and second test signal.
