Abstract: Example apparatus and methods cause activation of target neural tissue through electrical stimulation of a connected white matter tract to reduce the hyper-excitability of the target neural tissue and thus reduce seizures while preserving memory in humans. Example apparatus and methods apply low frequency (e.g., <10 HZ) electrical stimulation to the forno-dorso-commissure (FDC), detect an electrical signal generated in an area connected to, innervated by, or that can be activated by the FDC in response to the stimulation, and reconfigure the stimulation based on the detected signal and a desired therapeutic effect. The stimulation may be reconfigured to produce an electrical stimulation waveform that will produce the desired therapeutic effect. The desired therapeutic effect may be, for example, reducing hyper-excitability of neural tissue in a target area, reducing hippocampal spikes, reducing seizure odds, or improving recall.

Abstract: A system or method can facilitate source localization of brain electrical activity. In one example, an expert system can be utilized to evaluate the source localization results and, based on the acceptability of the results, adjust a data preparation phase to provide for acceptable source localization.

Abstract: The present invention relates electrical stimulation of structures having high fiber density, such as white matter tracts of the brain, to effect desired stimulation of associated brain structures. The stimulation of such white matter tracts or other structures can help reduce seizures or otherwise help control seizures by overdriving at least some electrical activity of the associated brain structures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to providing a stimulus to brain structures having high fiber density, such as white matter tracts. The stimulus, which can be electrical, pharmacological and/or genetic, is operative to employ the white matter to affect associated brain structures associated with the white matter to help induce a desired physiological response, such as helping to reduce or control seizures.
