Mapping transcranial signals to transcranial stimulation required to reproduce a brain state

Described is a system for computing a transcranial stimulation montage. The system obtains externally sensed brain activity representing a current brain state of a subject. Using the externally sensed brain activity, a desired brain activity change in each relevant voxel of the brain of the subject is translated into a necessary electrical field. A model the desired brain activity in relevant voxels of the brain of the subject is created. Using the model, an electrical stimulation montage is computed that can be applied by transcranial stimulation electrodes to a subject to transform the current brain state into a desired brain state.

20190209856 · 2019-07-11 ·

A system includes a communication interface for receiving information that includes data collected from an array of neural activity sensors that were placed on a patient during a session of applied stimuli. A processor is configured to analyze the received information to obtain a frequency spectrum for each sensor for a given stimulus of the applied stimuli. Neural network frequencies that correspond to an indicated impaired functionality of the nervous system of the patient are selected. For each selected frequencies, a spatial map of neural activity is generated. Each of the generated spatial maps is compared with retrieved corresponding spatial maps to identify treatment frequencies from among the selected neural network frequencies. A treatment protocol is generated for input into an electromagnetic field generator to cause the generator to apply to the patient an electromagnetic field at each identified treatment frequency.

A therapeutic or diagnostic system comprises a non-invasive brain stimulation device (such as a TMS stimulation device) or other neuromodulation device configured to stimulate a patient's brain or nervous system by emitting electromagnetic pulses according to stimulation parameters, such as a pulse frequency or burst repetition frequency or other parameters, that provides surprising improvements in responsiveness and/or may require only a relatively short train of pulses to achieve high efficacy. In particular, stimulation pulses may be delivered at a frequency of between 12 and 40 Hertz with a 3 to 5 ratio as compared with burst repetition frequency, or at other specific patterns within that range. The stimulation parameters may be pre-stored and customized to individual patients, being identified through an automated search routine during which patient feedback is monitored. A user interface may be provided to allow an operator to conveniently select the appropriate parameters for the desired treatment.
