Hybrid system for treating mental and emotional disorders with responsive brain stimulation
First Claim
1. A closed-loop brain computer interface (BCI) system for treating a patient suspected of having a mental or emotional disorder with on-demand responsive brain stimulation, the system comprising:
- an implanted module including a processor configured to process neural data acquired from at least one electrode in communication with at least one brain region of the patient suspected of having a mental or emotional disorder, the implanted module configured to deliver stimulation to the at least one electrode in contact with the at least one brain region, wherein the neural data comprises brain and body signals that are acquired by the implanted module;
an interface in wireless communication with the implanted module and configured to receive the neural data from the implanted module; and
a controller that processes the patient'"'"'s brain and body signals to provide the patient intentional control over the stimulation applied to the at least one electrode and to control the stimulation in concert with the patient'"'"'s intentional control to provide therapy for the mental or emotional disorder, wherein the intentional control comprises the patient being permitted to alter the provided brain and body signals if an alteration of the applied stimulation is desired by the patient.

Abstract
A closed-loop brain computer interface (BCI) system for treating mental or emotional disorders with responsive brain stimulation is disclosed. The system includes an implanted module including a processor configured to process neural data acquired from one or more electrodes in communication with one or more brain regions of a patient. The implanted module is configured to deliver stimulation to electrodes in contact with the brain regions. An interface is in wireless communication with the implanted module and configured to receive the neural data from the implanted module. A controller processes the patient'"'"'s brain and body signals to provide patient intentional control over the stimulation applied to the one or more electrodes and to control the stimulation.

16. A method for diagnosing a patient suspected of having a mental or emotional disorder with on-demand responsive brain stimulation using a closed-loop brain computer interface (BCI), the method comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring neural data from at least one electrode in communication with at least one brain region of the patient suspected of having a mental or emotional disorder, wherein the neural data comprises brain and body signals; processing the neural data using an implanted module including a processor; receiving the processed neural data at an interface in wireless communication with the implanted module; delivering stimulation, using the implanted module, to the at least one electrode in contact with the at least one brain region; and providing the patient intentional control over the applied stimulation using a controller that processes the patient'"'"'s brain and body signals initiated by the patient and in communication with the at least one electrode to control the stimulation to provide therapy for the mental or emotional disorder, wherein the intentional control comprises the patient being permitted to alter the provided brain and body signals if an alteration of the applied stimulation is selected by the patient, wherein the brain and body signals are acquired by the implanted module. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
