Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 16:
17. A method of modulating neural activity, comprising:
receiving ultrasonic waves at an ultrasonic transducer on a fully implanted closed-loop neuromodulation device;
converting the ultrasonic waves into an electrical energy that powers the device;
detecting, using the device, an electrophysiological signal transmitted by a nerve;
generating, using the device, a stimulation signal based on the detected electrophysiological signal;
emitting, using the device, an electrical pulse to a selectively targeted subset of nerve fibers within the nerve based on the generated stimulation signal, wherein the selectively targeted subset of nerve fibers consists of less than all nerve fibers within the nerve.
