发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DESYNCHRONIZATION OF NEURAL BRAIN ACTIVITY
摘要 The invention relates to a device for desynchronising neuronal, morbidly synchronous cerebral activity. According to the invention, the activity in a t least two sub-sections of a cerebral area or at least two functionally allie d cerebral areas is stimulated with the aid of at least two electrodes, which surprisingly causes a desyncronisation in the affected neurone population of an afflicted person, thus suppressing the symptoms. The stimulation feedback signal, i.e. the measured, time-delayed and processed neuronal activity is used as the individual stimulus. The invention thus permits a self-regulatin g demand control of the amplitude of the stimulation signal, whereby the intensity of the stimulation pulses are automatically minimised after successful desynchronisation. To operate successfully, the device requires neither complex calibration nor regulation of the stimulation parameters, th e latter however can be advantageously adapted and optimised by the additional controller. Said device comprises at least two stimulating electrodes (2) an d at least one sensor (3), which are controlled by a controller in such a way that they cause localised desynchronisation.
