Abstract
Programmable implantable neurological stimulation systems with multiple electrodes have many advantages in clinical use, but time-consuming postoperative adjustment of stimulation parameters is a distinct disadvantage. A personal computer interface to standard commercial radiofrequency-coupled devices has been developed, permitting direct patient interaction to expedite this process. In addition, the system permits simulated multichannel operation and implementation of various modulation schemes.
