Optimal method and apparatus for neural modulation for the treatment of neurological disease, particularly movement disorders

A neurological control system for modulating the activity of at least one nervous system component, the neurological control system comprising:

• at least one intracranial stimulating electrode, each constructed and arranged to deliver a neural modulation signal to at least one nervous system component;
• at least one sensor, each constructed and arranged to sense at least one parameter, including but not limited to physiologic values and neural signals, which is indicative of at least one of disease state, magnitude of symptoms, and response to therapy;
• and
• a stimulating and recording unit constructed and arranged to generate said neural modulation signal based upon a neural response sensed by said at least one sensor in response to a previously delivered neural modulation signal, said stimulating and recording unit further comprising a reference module in communication with a patient interface module and a supervisory module, said reference module further comprising a memory register for the storage of control law reference values, said patient interface module facilitating monitoring and adjustment of said reference values by a patient and said supervisory module facilitating monitoring and adjustment of reference values by a health care provider.
