Presented herein are techniques for providing tinnitus relief to recipients via an implantable arrangement. In accordance with embodiments presented herein, an implantable medical device, such as implantable tinnitus therapy device, auditory/hearing prosthesis, etc., comprises one or more implantable sensors configured to be implanted in a recipient. The one or more implantable sensors are configured to detect body noises of the recipient. The implantable medical device is configured to classify/categorize the one or more body noises and set, select, or otherwise determine a tinnitus therapy for the recipient based on the classification of the one or more body noises.

A system including a power source, one or more stimulating devices for stimulating the visual cortex of a user to present a perceived virtual image responsive to the stimulating, one or more sensing devices for sensing electrical signals in the motor and/or pre-motor cortex of the user and a processor/controller connected to the stimulating and sensing devices and programmed to sense signals from the motor and/or pre-motor cortex of the user. The sensed signals result from the user performing a movement and/or intending to perform a movement and/or imagining the performing of a movement and are used to interact with the presented virtual image. The processor/controller processes the sensed signals to obtain computed data indicative of a user's interaction with the virtual image, and performs a general computing task responsive to the computed data.

Methods and apparatuses to detect configuration commands from waveforms received at a retina prosthesis device for calibrating the device are described. The device can comprise an array of pixel units to receive light to stimulate neuron cells to cause an effect of visual sensation from the light. The pixel units may have configurable parameters for the stimulation to the neuron cells. The configurable parameters may be updated according to the configuration commands detected without requiring micro processor and non-volatile memory in the device. The stimulation may be generated according to the updated configurable parameters to improve the effect of visual sensation from the light including compensation for the physiological and environmental variations and drifts.

The invention relates to a system for locally activating the nervous system in the human eye and in the brain by means of a non-invasive pulse treatment in order to strengthen residual vision in cases of existing visual field defects, consisting of an applicator for guiding a flow of current to the eye and/or brain and to excite the circulation and activate nerve cells, in particular nerve cells of the visual system and retinal ganglion cells, a pulse generator for generating electric stimulation signals, and a data processing and control unit for providing patient-specific stimulation signal sequences, wherein the applicator has at least two electrodes which can be brought into contact with the head of the subject. Replaceable stimulation electrodes are fixed to the applicator such that the electrodes rest to the right and to the left of the eye in the region of the temple of the patient's head. The applicator additionally has at least one assembly for non-invasively determining the circulation of the skin and the brain and for determining the oxygen saturation in order to improve the stimulation effect in this regard when using the system.

A device may be configured to be located underneath an eyelid for treating ophthalmic conditions. The device may include an annular body and a flex circuit mounted on and conforming to at least a portion of an outer surface of the annular body. The flex circuit may include a substrate comprising an electronic circuitry portion and one or more electrode portions, and electronic circuitry attached to the electronic circuitry portion of the substrate. The flex circuit may further include one or more electrodes bonded to the substrate at the one or more electrode portions and electrically coupled to the electronic circuitry. An orientation around the annular body of each of the one or more electrodes may be based on a position on the substrate of a respective electrode portion of the one or more electrode portions.

A method for anti-inflammatory treatment of diabetic retinopathy can include systemic administration of an A2aAR agonist and providing local electric field stimulation to the retina. The electric field stimulation causes translocation of A2aRs from cytosol to the cell membranes and makes them active and available for binding with adenosine and adenosine agonists. Increased numbers of active A2aRs on cellular membranes leads to several-fold increase in the anti-inflammatory signal transduced into the cells. Amplified adenosine-A2aR signaling pathway causes significant inhibition of production of proinflammatory cytokines and other cytotoxic activity of microglia thus protecting the retina from destruction by the immune system and preserving eyesight. A treatment apparatus can include a multicoil applicator with coils adapted for positioning near eyes for stimulating retina, a pulse generator functionally coupled to the applicator and a power supply.

A method, including the action of operating a sense prosthesis, such as a retinal implant, according to a first operating regime while the recipient has a first fatigue level, and operating the sense prosthesis according to a second operating regime while the recipient has a second fatigue level that is greater than the first fatigue level.

The present disclosure relates to a method of generating visual percepts using conformal electrode arrays. The electrode arrays can be placed into the ventricular system or cerebral venous sinuses, which function as minimally invasive techniques for precise spatial and temporal localization of electrical activity within the brain, and precise electrical stimulation of brain tissue, to diagnose and restore function in conditions caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The disclosure further comprises a system for using these arrays to generate time-varying electric fields to stimulate the visual pathways of the brain, including the optic radiations and the occipital cortex, in ways that lead to visual perception.
