Lorand Eross, MD

Dr. Lorand Eross discusses the potential for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) beyond therapy. He reviews the common forms of SCS stimulus and reviews novel approaches to SCS stimulation, including fast-acting sub-threshold stimulation, contour stimulation, and combination therapy. He highlights differential target multiplexed stimulation and its ability to change ion channels through gene expression modulation, as well as closed loop SCS and ARC therapy to restore functionality. Dr. Eross analyzes the progress made in neuromodulation over the past 20 years and compares it to developments in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. He details the interesting area of research exploring BCI for neuromodulation.
