Device typeBrain-responsive electrical stimulation system: An assembly of devices designed to continuously monitor brain activity and deliver electrical stimuli to seizure foci in response to the detection of abnormal electrical events in the brain for the treatment of neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy). It consists of a sterile, battery-powered sensing device/stimulator implanted below the scalp; one or more leads, which may be placed on the cortical surface or deep in the brain, and which transmit monitoring data, electrocorticograms and stimulation pulses; telemetric control units for programming the stimulator and/or receiving functional data; and software run on a computing device for analysis and reporting.
