Abstract
The present invention provides methods, devices and systems for transcranial stimulation.
Claims25
A method of modulating cortical activity in a subject, comprising:
- detecting cortical oscillations and/or coherence between cortical oscillations in the subject;
- and
- passing an oscillating electric current through the skull of the subject responsive to the cortical oscillations and/or coherence detected.
9-20. (canceled)
22-31. (canceled)
A cortical stimulation device, comprising:
- a detection module configured to detect cortical oscillations in a subject;
- an analysis module configured to analyze the detected cortical oscillations;
- a generation module configured to generate an oscillating electric current;
- and
- an OEC passing module configured to pass oscillating electric current through the skull of the subject.
