    Abstract: Methods for treating a neurologic disorder by neurostimulation. The stimulation may be applied using electromagnetic energy. In certain embodiments, distributed electrical stimulation is applied to a target site of the brain in an ongoing fashion. A microelectrode array may be used to provide the distributed electrical stimulation. The method may also comprise the detection of electrophysiologic signals from the brain. These detected signals may be analyzed and used for closed-loop feedback of the neurostimulation. Also provided are systems for neurostimulation and software for operating such systems.
