Abstract:
The present invention employed a method to control electrical activity in a target area of an animal's body by administering transcranial focal stimulation to the target area to adjust activity to normal levels. An advanced automated control system would first detect the abnormal electrical activity using tripolar concentric ring electrodes and then provides transcranial focal electrical stimulation to the target area using noninvasive tripolar concentric ring electrode system in a closed-loop continuous feedback. The automated control system would be adaptable to include the use of therapeutic drugs, either non-continuously or continuously, as a more comprehensive treatment of the abnormal electric activity.
