Abstract:
Methods for sensing or stimulating electrical activity of brain tissue from within an animal vessel by placement of an intravascular device within an animal vessel to control an external device, the intravascular device being adapted to at least one of sense and stimulate activity of brain tissue located outside the vessel proximate the intravascular device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for sensing activity of a neural tissue of interest in a brain of a patient and transmitting the activity to an external device, the method comprising:\n positioning an intravascular device through a vasculature of the patient, where the intravascular device comprises a stent structure having a plurality of discrete electrodes positioned on a surface of the stent structure, and a plurality of wires, with each wire electrically coupled to a discrete electrode, where the plurality of wires extends through a portion of the vasculature; deploying the stent structure within the cerebral vessel within the brain of the patient such that the stent structure takes a shape of the cerebral vessel causing the array of electrodes to engage a wall of the cerebral vessel that is adjacent to neural tissue allowing the plurality of discrete electrodes to sense an electrical activity in the neural tissue; conducting the electrical activity through the plurality of wires, where the plurality of wires from the cerebral vessel through the vasculature to an internal unit located exterior to the vasculature such that the internal unit generates a signal in response to the electrical activity; and transmitting the signal from the internal unit to the external device to interact with the external device.
