    electrical conducting means for providing electrical connections between the electrodes and the control module; and

    external equipment means adapted to be located external to the human patient for providing two-way communication between the external equipment means and the control module for (1) receiving data transmission from the control module and (2) transmitting electrical signals to be received by the control module for defining the output electrical signals from the control module, whereby said output electrical signals provide a stimulation signal to terminate a neurological event.
