Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an apparatus including: one or more needle-like bases enabled to be inserted into the brain; a first electrode having a first impedance and enabling an input of an electric activity of a nucleus with which the first electrode comes into contact; and a second electrode having a second impedance lower than the first impedance and being able to output an electric stimulation to the nucleus, wherein the first electrode is provided at a tip portion of at least one of the bases, and the second electrode is provided on a part of the at least one of the bases at a position identical to a position of at least one of the first electrode or on a proximal side with respect to the first electrode, in a direction along a long axis of the base on which the first electrode is provided.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of using an electric activity information in brain, the method using an apparatus:\n one or more needle-like base enabled to be inserted to the brain, a first electrode a first impedance and acquiring an input of an electric activity of a brain tissue with which the first electrode comes into contact and being provided at a portion of the at least one of the one or more bases; a pair of second electrodes having a second impedance lower than the first impedance, applying an electric stimulation to the brain tissue and being provided at portions of the at least one of the one or more bases, wherein the first electrode is positioned at a tip portion of the at least one of the one or more bases and the second electrodes are aligned along the long axis of at least one of the one or more bases at positions closer to a proximal end than the first electrode, and the method comprising:\n outputting one or more electric stimulations of one or more single stimulations and/or one or more repetitive stimulations, \n receiving one or more electric activities in the brain tissue induced based on the one or more electric stimulations output from the second electrodes; and \n deciding the one or more electric activities in the tissue as the brain-site specific electric activity information.
