Abstract
A system and method for a biological interface system that processes multicellular signals of a patient and controls one or more devices is disclosed. The system includes a sensor that detects the multicellular signals and a processing unit for producing the control signal based on the multicellular signals. The system further includes an automated configuration routine that is used to set or modify the value of one or more system configuration parameters.
Claims124
A biological interface system comprising:
- a sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes for detecting multicellular signals emanating from one or more living cells of a patient;
- a processing unit configured to receive the multicellular signals from the sensor, process the multicellular signals to produce a processed signal, and transmit the processed signal to a controlled device;
- the controlled device for receiving the processed signal;
- and
- an integrated patient training routine performed to generate one or more system configuration parameters used by the processing unit to produce the processed signal, the patient training routine comprising:
- a system configuration plan comprising a first configuration of steps to be performed;
- means for collecting a first set of patient data, the first set of patient data collected prior to patient control of the controlled device;
- means for analyzing the first set of patient data and providing an output of the analysis;
- and
- means for modifying the system configuration plan;
- wherein the system configuration plan is modified when the output of the analysis of the first set of patient data falls below a success threshold value, and
- wherein the success threshold value is set to require at least one modification of the configuration plan prior to the patient controlling the controlled device.
