Abstract:
1. A computer readable program storage unit encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer, performs a method for assessment, optimization and logging of the effects of a therapy for a medical condition, said method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving into a signal processor input signals indicative of the subject's electrochemical brain activity; (b) characterizing the spatio-temporal behavior of said electrochemical brain activity using said signals; (c) delivering a therapy to a target tissue of the subject, wherein the therapy is delivered by a single therapy source; (d) characterizing the spatio-temporal effect of said therapy on said electrochemical brain activity; (e) in response to said characterizing said spatio-temporal effect, optimizing at least one parameter of the therapy if said electrochemical brain activity has not been satisfactorily modified and/or has been adversely modified by said therapy; (f) characterizing the spatio-temporal effect on said electrochemical brain activity of said at least one optimized parameter; and (g) logging to memory said at least one optimized parameter.
