Patent Images
1. A medical device system comprising:
- (a) a brain stimulating element for stimulating the brain and outputting a brain stimulation signal;
(b) a cardiac monitoring element for sensing activity of the heart and outputting a cardiac signal; and
(c) one or more processors in communication with the brain stimulating element and the cardiac monitoring element, the one or more processors configured to;
(i) receive the brain stimulation signal;
(ii) determine at least one reference point for a stimulation event time period by evaluation of the brain stimulation signal;
(iii) receive the cardiac signal; and
(iv) identify a first portion of the cardiac signal based on the at least one reference point of the stimulation event time period.

Abstract
A medical device system that includes a brain stimulating element, cardiac monitoring element and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a brain stimulation signal from the brain stimulating element and a cardiac signal from the cardiac monitoring element. The processor is further configured to determine at least one reference point for a stimulation event time period by evaluation of the brain stimulation signal. The processor further identifies a first portion of the cardiac signal based on the at least one reference point of the stimulation event time period.
