Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Novia Workstation (NW) is a 16-channel recording, and stimulation platform. The NW enables high fidelity LFP sensing and recording (0.01 – 1000 Hz: Sampling 8 kHz) and programmable electrical stimulation. B) Implantable Neural Stimulation and Recording (INSR) system Alera . The INSR is a rechargeable, 16-channel sensing, stimulation and recording device. The Alera system includes: 1) 16 channel INSR supporting four leads with 2) electrode extensions with skull mounted bifurcation port, 3) programmer (Tablet computer), 4) controller (Android mobile phone), 5) charger, 6) control magnet and 7) electrode leads with 3.5 mm and 7 mm span were utilized within this study. The INSR can wirelessly communicate with the controller, relaying information such as the INSR battery level, operational status, and recording status; additionally, the controller may store recorded data downloaded from the INSR. The programmer is used to generate stimulation therapy programs that are uploaded to the INSR via the controller. C) Detailed device specifications .
Article Snippet: The bifurcation port aggregates the four 4-contact electrode leads into two 8-contact extensions, which were tunneled subcutaneously from the head to the right medial shoulder area where the implantable neural sensing and recording (INSR) device was (Cadence Neuroscience Inc., Seattle, WA).
