System and method for cortical entrainment

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method, comprising machine executable code, which when executed by at least a hardware based, cortical entrainment device (CED), causes the device to:

• generate a power spectra with delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma brain waves of a patient with epilepsy or a seizure disorder using an electroencephalographic (EEG) waveform;
• detect changes in interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) occurrence by comparing the EEG waveform with stored EEG data at a memory device of the CED;
• and
• use changes in spectral characteristic of the EEG waveform and occurrence and frequency of IEDs in the EEG waveform for providing one or both of an audio and visual stimulus for the patient from an audio/video device during a baseline phase, a stimulus phase and a post-stimulus phase of a patient therapy regimen;
• wherein the baseline phase, the stimulus phase and the post-stimulus phase are conducted with different sequences, where each sequence has periods of silence and periods of stimulus that are varied based on change in the power spectra and the IEDs evaluated by the CED after each of the baseline phase, the stimulus phase and the post-stimulus phase.
