Patent ID: 8676342

Claim:
A lead extension arrangement configured to connect a brain stimulation lead to a neuro-stimulation generator comprising: an interface arrangement; and a lead extension; wherein: a proximal end of the lead extension is connected to, and is configured to receive a stimulation signal from, a neuro-stimulation generator; the interface arrangement includes a component in which are integrated a lead interface, an electroencephalogram (EEG) interface separate from the lead interface, and a lead extension interface separate from the lead and EEG interfaces; the EEG interface is connected to, and configured to receive a plurality of EEG signals from, a plurality of EEG sensors at least one of which is detached from the brain stimulation lead and is adapted to be disposed at least one of on a scalp, and between the scalp and a skull, of a patient; the lead extension interface is connected to a distal end of the lead extension and is configured to (a) provide the plurality of EEG signals to the neuro-stimulation generator via the lead extension and (b) obtain the stimulation signal from the lead extension; and the lead interface is connected to, and configured to send the stimulation signal to, the brain stimulation lead.
