Patent ID: 7282030

Claim:
A method for treating a patient for a nervous system disorder, the method comprising: (a) receiving a neurological signal through a monitoring element and an amplifier, wherein the neurological signal is a member of a set of neurological signals; (b) detecting, by a detection algorithm, a first detection cluster based upon the neurological signal; (c) in response to (b), delivering a treatment therapy through a delivery unit during a first time interval; (d) blanking the neurological signal during the first time interval of time; (e) blanking the neurological signal during a second time interval that extends beyond the first time interval, wherein the neurological signal is adversely affected by the delivering of treatment therapy in (c) the first time interval during the second time interval; (f) processing the neurological signal during a third time interval corresponding to a detection window; and (g) after the third interval, determining whether to redeliver the treatment therapy using an algorithm output based on the processing in (f).
