Abstract
A method for controlling connectivity between two or more brain regions of a subject includes receiving signals corresponding to a connectivity between two or more regions of a subject's brain, measuring a connectivity level from the signals, and delivering at least one stimulation pulse to at least one target region of the subject's brain if the measured connectivity level is outside of a predetermined range.
Claims11
A method for controlling connectivity between two or more brain regions of a subject, the method comprising:
- receiving signals corresponding to a connectivity between a first target region and a second target region in a subject's brain;
- determining, from the received signals, a connectivity level between the first target region and the second target region;
- and
- delivering at least one stimulation pulse to at least one of the first and second target regions if the connectivity level is outside of a predetermined range.
