Abstract:
1. A non-transitive, computer-readable storage device for storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method, comprising: detecting, in at least a first brain region of a patient, an electrical activity relating to an epileptic activity, determining a first regularity index of said electrical activity; applying at least one first electrical stimulation to at least one neural target of said patient for treating said epileptic event, in response to said first regularity index being within a first range; detecting, in at least a second brain region of a patient, a second electrical activity relating to an epileptic activity; determining a second regularity index of said second electrical activity; determining a phase-locking index between said first brain region and a second brain region of the patient if said first regularity index and said second regularity index are both within said first range; applying at least one second electrical stimulation to at least one neural target of said patient for treating said epileptic activity, in response to said phase-locking index being within a second range; determining whether said second electrical stimulation was not efficacious or caused an adverse reaction; and determining at least a third regularity index of at least one of said first electrical activity or said second electrical activity in response to determining said second electrical stimulation was not efficacious or caused an adverse reaction.
