The systems and methods described herein include an external base station with a tethered transceiver, an implanted hub that includes power, telemetry, and processing electronics, and a plurality of implanted satellite that contain reconfigurable front-end electronics for interfacing with electrodes. The system can operate in different modes. In a first mode, called a base boost mode, the external base station is used for closed-loop control of stimulation therapies. In a second, autonomous mode, closed-loop control is performed in the hub without direct influence from the base station. In a third mode, streams of neural data are transmitted to an offline processor for offline analysis.

A device for supporting objects in an organized manner comprising a vertical post formed of a rigid material having an upper end, a lower end, and a common cross-sectional configuration therebetween, the cross-sectional configuration including one flat extent along at least a portion of the circumference of the post; an upper end cap secured to the upper end of the support rod; a hook having a curved upper end positionable over a bar of a closet or other support such as a wall mounted hook and having a lower end formed with threads, the threads being threadably positioned into the upper end of the support bar; a plurality of clips, each clip being secured at spaced locations along the length of the post for supporting individual objects being formed with a pair of similarly shaped components, each component having an exterior flat section and angled interior sections to allow the pivoting thereof at an intermediate point to open and close the fingers of the clip, each clip also having a coil spring coupled between the opposed components tending to urge the fingers of the clip in a closed position; and an adhesive coupling the clips to the post with the clips being at spaced locations along the length thereof for supporting individual objects.
