Claim 5:
6. A method for connecting a surgically implanted neurostimulation device to a neurophysiologic monitoring device and mapping and accurately positioning electrodes of the neurostimulation device, the method comprising:
connecting the surgically implanted neurostimulation device to a connecting apparatus;
connecting the connecting apparatus to the neurophysiological monitoring device; and
transmitting at least one stimulation signal using the neurophysiological monitoring device via the connecting apparatus to the neurostimulation device and obtaining at least one recording signal at the neurophysiological monitoring device from the neurostimulation device via the connecting apparatus based on the at least one stimulation signal;
wherein the neurostimulation device is selected from the group consisting of a Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS), and a Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) device,
wherein the connecting apparatus comprises a connector port for connection to the neurostimulation device and a plurality of electrode pin leads for connection to the neurophysiological monitoring device, and wherein each pin lead in the plurality of electrode pin leads is independently configured to transmit either a stimulation signal or a recording signal.
