ABSTRACT:
A cortical electrode support assembly is provided having at least one cortical sensing device, preferably an electrode device, a connector and a support apparatus. The cortical sensing device includes at least one sensing element, preferably a contact, and a lead with a connection member that is preferably a socket extending from the contact. The connector has a connecting element that is preferably a connecting pin adapted to receive the connection member and a electrical conduit extending from it. The support apparatus is provided with an adjustable clamp and a mount that has the connector secured to it. The electrical conduit preferably has an input jack for connecting it to an external device such as an external monitoring device. Preferably, the support apparatus also includes a post on which the mount is slidably secured at one end and the clamp is adjustably attached to the other end. A method of monitoring brain activity during brain surgery is also disclosed.
