Patent ID: 8588898

Claim:
A system for controlling a seizure of a subject, the system comprising: (a) receiving means structured and configured to monitor and receive three-dimensional signals of a seizure being emitted by a subject's brain; (b) a waveform bank structured and configured to deliver an adaptive stimulation waveform or train(s) of waveforms to the subject; (c) output means structured and configured to deliver an adaptive stimulation waveform or train(s) of waveforms to the subject; and (d) control and signal processing means structured and configured: (1) to analyze and record the three dimensional signals being emitted by the subject's brain and received by the receiving means to determine at least one measure of brain excitability of the subject, (2) to construct and deliver an adaptive waveform with maximal beneficial and minimal detrimental effects for treating the seizure, (3) to adapt said adaptive waveform or train(s) of waveforms, if indicated, based on the response of the subject's brain to the delivery of a previous waveform delivered to the subject, (4) to cause the output means to automatically deliver the desired stimulation waveform to the subject, and (5) to continue analyzing the three dimensional signals being emitted by the subject's brain and monitored and received by the receiving means in order to assess therapeutic efficacy or safety of the desired stimulation waveform delivered to the subject.
