Abstract
A device for measuring a neural response evoked by a stimulus. First and second sense electrodes are positioned at distinct locations along a neural pathway. A neural stimulus is applied and first and second recordings of a neural response evoked by the stimulus are obtained from the respective sense electrodes. The first recording and the second recording are compared to determine propagation properties of the evoked neural response.
Claims13
A method of measuring a neural response evoked by a stimulus, the method comprising:
- applying a neural stimulus;
- making a first recording of a neural response evoked by the stimulus using a first sense electrode;
- making a second recording of the neural response evoked by the stimulus using a second sense electrode spaced apart from the first electrode along a neural pathway of the neural response;
- and
- comparing the first recording and the second recording to determine propagation properties of the evoked response.
A device for measuring a neural response evoked by a stimulus, the device comprising:
- at least first and second sense electrodes which are configured to be positioned at distinct locations along a neural pathway;
- and
- a control unit configured to apply a neural stimulus, the control unit further configured to make a first recording of a neural response evoked by the stimulus using a first sense electrode, the control unit further configured to make a second recording of the neural response evoked by the stimulus using the second sense electrode;
- and the control unit further configured to compare the first recording and the second recording to determine propagation properties of the evoked neural response.
