  • Methods for establishing parameters for neural stimulation, including via performance of working memory tasks, and associated kits
    Patent number: 8929991
    Abstract: Methods for establishing parameters for neural stimulation, including via performance of working memory tasks, and associated kits, are disclosed. A method in accordance with one embodiment includes engaging a patient in a function controlled at least in part by a target neural population, and applying electromagnetic signals to the target neural population. A target parameter in accordance with which the electromagnetic signals are applied is adjusted, based at least in part on a characteristic of the patient's performance of the function. Electromagnetic signals are applied to the patient with the adjusted target parameter, and the patient's response to the electromagnetic signals, including the characteristic of the patient's performance, is evaluated.
