Patent ID: 8027737

Claim:
A lead extension configured to connect a brain stimulation lead to a neuro-stimulation generator comprising: a body portion having a distal end, a proximal end, a signal line extending between the proximal end and the distal and, and a multiplexer disposed at the distal end and coupled to the signal line, the proximal end of the extension configured to receive a stimulation signal from the neuro-stimulation generator; a lead interface disposed at the distal end and configured to send the stimulation signal to the brain stimulation lead; and an electroencephalogram (EEG) interface having a plurality of EEG connectors disposed on the body portion and configured to receive a plurality of EEG signals from a plurality of EEG sensors, wherein at least one of the plurality of EEG sensors is located on the body portion and the plurality of EEG sensors are configured to send the EEG signals to the neuro-stimulation generator, the multiplexer further coupled to the plurality of EEG connectors and the lead interface, wherein the multiplexer is to selectively couple each of the plurality of EEG connectors and the lead interface to the signal line.
