Abstract:
An implantable neural stimulator method for modulating excitable tissue in a patient including: implanting a neural stimulator within the body of the patient such that one or more electrodes of the neural stimulator are positioned at a target site adjacent to or near excitable tissue; generating an input signal with a controller module located outside of, and spaced away from, the patient's body; transmitting the input signal to the neural stimulator through electrical radiative coupling; converting the input signal to electrical pulses within the neural stimulator; and applying the electrical pulses to the excitable tissue sufficient to modulate said excitable tissue.

Claim (Index 17):
The tissue stimulation system of  claim 10 , wherein the wireless tissue stimulator comprises a plurality of electrodes, and wherein the one or more circuits of the control module are configured to:\n generate a control signal that designates which of the plurality of electrodes act as stimulating electrodes, which of the plurality of electrodes act as return electrodes, and which of the plurality of electrodes are inactive; and send the control signal to the second antenna such that the second antenna can transmit the control signal to the first antenna via electrical radiative coupling, wherein the one or more circuits of the wireless tissue stimulator are configured to selectively designate each of the plurality of electrodes to act as a stimulating electrode, act as a return electrode, or be inactive based on the control signal.
