Claim One:
1. A method for desynchronizing pathologically rhythmic brain activity, the method comprising: generating a plurality of pulses at a plurality of excitation frequencies, respectively, to stimulate neuronal rhythmic activity in a patient's brain; measuring the neuronal rhythmic activity in response to the plurality of pulses; determining at least one frequency of the plurality of excitation frequencies in which the measured neuronal rhythmic activity has a maximum amplitude of pathological rhythm; generating an entraining periodic pulse sequence operating at the at least one frequency to entrain the phase dynamic of the neuronal rhythmic activity; and generating a desynchronization pulse following the entraining periodic pulse sequence to desynchronize the neuronal rhythmic activity, wherein the plurality of pulses, the entraining pulse sequence and the desynchronization pulse are either visual or acoustic or tactile.
