Stentrode - Neuro EP Platform
Our Neuro EP platform is built on the stentrode™, an endovascular electrode array. It is designed to record or stimulate the brain or nerves from within the blood vessels. The device is designed to become incorporated into the wall of the blood vessel like a tattoo. Similar to a stent, it is designed not to cause long term inflammation or trauma to the brain. The stentrode™ is the key to our platform.
The science of restoring, treating, and mapping the electrical activities of the brain.
Neurointerventional Electrophysiology (Neuro EP) is a new field of medical science that combines and elevates three existing areas of research: neuroprosthetics, neuromodulation, and neurodiagnostics.
Neuroprosthestics
The restoration of a lost brain function, e.g loss of movement or vision.
Neuromodulation
The alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a therapeutic stimulus, e.g. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
Neurodiagnostics
The science of using electrophysiology to monitor the functional integrity of neural structures, e.g. brain injury biomarkers.
