Systems including intra-calvarial implants and/or subdermal implants are capable of stimulating cortical regions and sensing and electrical signals is implanted within or on a calvarial bone of a skull. The implants have current steering capability to change the current density profiles applied to selected cortical regions underlying the implant. The systems may track changes in the position and/or spatial parameters of a neural network by recording cortical electrical signals and processing them to compute the values of one or more network activity biomarkers. The systems may spatially track changes detected in network anatomical position and deliver the stimulation of the cortex to the network detected position by using current steering methods.

Devices, systems and methods for cortical stimulation

An intra-calvarial implant (ICI) includes a housing including a sealed compartment having a top part, a bottom part and a side wall, and a current directing mechanism extending from the bottom part of the sealed compartment. The ICI also includes one or more electrodes for sensing electrical signals from the brain and/or for electrically stimulating one or more regions of the brain. The ICI includes at least one auxiliary electrode (that may be a reference and/or source/sink electrode) and an electronic circuitry module (ECM), sealingly disposed within the sealed compartment and operatively connected to the one or more electrodes and to the at least one reference electrode. The ECM controls the operation of the ICI and wirelessly communicates with an external telemetry device. The ICI includes a power harvesting device electrically connected to the ECM of the ICI for providing power thereto.
