Claim Text:
1. An electrophysiology catheter, comprising: an elongate, deformable shaft comprising a proximal end and a distal end; and, a basket electrode assembly coupled to said distal end of said shaft, said basket electrode assembly comprising a proximal end and a distal end and configured to assume a compressed state and an expanded state and including a plurality of splines comprising a plurality of electrodes disposed thereon; wherein each of said plurality of splines are configured to assume a non-planar shape in said expanded state, and wherein the non-planar shape is configured to allow the plurality of electrodes to assume a predetermined configuration, wherein said basket electrode assembly is sized and configured to fit within a heart and wherein the plurality of electrodes are spaced between a proximal end and a distal end of each of the plurality of splines and are configured to allow for non-contact mapping of electrical activity in a tissue of the heart, and wherein said plurality of splines are free floating.
