Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
A61N 118
US Classification:
607 45, 600595, 607 3
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for improving cognitive function or for improving coordination of function across a patients cortical regions. The method includes applying electrical stimulation to at least a portion of the patients subcortical structures involved in the generation and control of generalized efference copy signals. Internally generated movement of the patient is then detected and, in response to such internally generated movement, application of electrical stimulation is controlled. The method of the present invention has a number of benefits, including increasing flexibility in identifying targets for stimulation, improving the probability of successfully treating brain injury, and permitting patient biofeedback and self-regulation.

Patient Controlled Brain Repair System And Method Of Use
US Patent:
2011010, May 5, 2011
Filed:
May 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/994427
Inventors:
Nicholas D. Schiff - New York NY, US
Assignee:
CORNELL UNIVERSITY - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607 45
Abstract:
A method of maintaining an information rate of a Brain-computer interface (BCI) system, implanted in a patient's brain, by regulating arousal level in the patient's brain is disclosed. The method includes selecting a patient with the implanted BCI device configured to receive neuronal activity from one or more electrodes connected to the patient's brain and to establish a communication channel between the patient and an external device controlled by the patient. Accordingly, a rate of information passage through the communication channel from the BCI device is measured, and a region of the patient's brain involved in arousal regulation, is stimulated in response to said measuring, under conditions effective to adjust the rate of information passing from the BCI device through the communication channel. A computer medium for carrying out this method and a BCI Arousal Regulation system are also disclosed.
Systems And Methods For Treating Medical Conditions By Stimulation Of Medial Thalamic Region
US Patent:
2008021, Sep 4, 2008
Filed:

International Classification:
A61N 1/36, A61N 1/30, A61N 1/34
US Classification:
607 3, 607 45, 607 46, 604 20
Abstract:
A system for treating medical conditions by neuromodulation of one or more target sites in the nervous system. In certain embodiments, at least one of the target sites is the medial thalamic region, including the intralaminar nucleus and the adjacent white and grey matter. In certain embodiments, where there is more than one target site, the other target sites is elsewhere in the nervous system, including the globus pallidus interna, subthalamic nucleus, corpus callosum, cerebellum, cerebral cortex (including the premotor cortex, motor cortex, and sensory cortex), ventral striatum, lateral thalamus, substantia nigra, and pedunculopontine nuclei. The medical conditions include movement disorders or improvement of movement function, stroke, neuropsychiatric or neuropsychologic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and pain. Methods for treating medical conditions by neuromodulation of the intralaminar nuclei either alone or in combination with another target site(s) is also provided.
Method And System For Analyzing Multi-Variate Data Using Canonical Decomposition
US Patent:
7409321, Aug 5, 2008
Filed:
Aug 10, 2006

Nicholas Schiff - New York NY, US
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/00
US Classification:
702189
Abstract:
A canonical decomposition (CD) method that includes building a multi-variate linear autoregressive (“MLAR”) model from an original data set or from a reduced set derived by data reduction methods from the original data set. The MLAR analysis is followed by seeking a coordinate transformation of the MLAR model to obtain the best possible match with one or more canonical forms representing relationships among components. For multi-variate data with a truly hierarchical structure, CD accurately extracts the underlying sources of the system.

Deep Brain Stimulation Method
US Patent:
5938688, Aug 17, 1999
Filed:
Dec 4, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/985435
Inventors:
Nicholas D. Schiff - New York NY
Assignee:
Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
A61N 136
US Classification:
607 45
Abstract:
The present subject matter is directed to a method for treating a conscious. The method includes selecting a conscious patient having impaired cognitive function and applying electrical stimulation to at least a portion of the patient's intralaminar nuclei under conditions effective to relieve the patient's impaired cognitive function. A method for improving coordination of function across a patient's cortical regions is also described. The method includes applying electrical stimulation to two or more subdivisions of the patient's intralaminar nuclei. The two or more subdivisions of the patient's intralaminar nuclei modulate separate cortical regions. Using the methods of the present invention, patients suffering from impaired cognitive function can have at least a portion of the function restored, thus improving their quality of life and reducing societal costs.
