Abstract
A system may include one implantable pulse generator and at least one implantable lead. The pulse generator may include a processor, a driving system for driving electrodes, a communication circuit, and a housing configured to be subcutaneously implanted. The lead may be configured to extend from the pulse generator to at least one neural target on a left side of a head and a neural target on a right side of the head. The lead may include at least two electrode sets, each including at least two electrodes. The lead be configured to be used to subcutaneously place the at least two electrode sets near the at least two neural targets, respectively, and electrically connect the pulse generator to each of the at least two electrodes sets to enable the driving system to drive the at least two electrode sets to stimulate the at least two neural targets.
