Problems solved by technology

In particular, assuming that the frequency content of these artifacts is within the desired signal bandwidth of the received neural signal, the artifacts generally cannot be attenuated using simple frequency-selective filtering techniques
Existing solutions (e.g., blanking recording channels during stimulation, self-eliminating stimulating electrodes, etc.) do not overcome all challenges faced in reducing noise from these artifacts
Furthermore, existing solutions lack the ability to perform continuous neural signal recordings during the stimulation phase, making critical parts of the data unusable

Embodiment Construction

[0036] Turning now to the drawings, an energy-efficient implementation of an Adaptive Stimulation Artifact Reduction (ASAR) process capable of adaptively removing stimulation signal artifacts from neural signals in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention is disclosed to alter Stimulating properties at multiple sites. According to several embodiments, a blind artifact template detection technique is utilized, which in combination with the ASAR process can eliminate the need for any prior knowledge of the temporal and structural properties of the stimulation pulses. In addition, processes according to some embodiments of the present invention also effectively deal with non-linear mapping of brain tissue and non-idealities of electrode interfaces through linear filtering. According to many embodiments, the use of blind artifact templates enables the ASAR process to combat uncertainties due to non-idealities in timing, stimulator circuits, and / or sensing circuits...

Abstract

System and methods that cancel artifacts of stimulation signals from neural signals are disclosed. In several embodiments, the systems and methods determine a threshold value for the neural signal inthe absence of artifacts. The threshold value can then be used to detect an artifact in received neural signals. In a number of embodiments, a template can be used to cancel an artifact from a neuralsignal in response to the neural signal being greater than the threshold value.
