Integrated system and method for treating disease using cognitive-training and brain stimulation and computerized magnetic photo-electric stimulator (CMPES)
First Claim
1. A medical device for treatment of Alzheimer'"'"'s disease comprising:
- a non-invasive brain stimulator operative to selectively stimulate at least one region of a brain of a patient, which at least one region is functionally associated with at least one symptom of Alzheimer'"'"'s disease; and
a cognitive stimulator operative to provide cognitive stimuli relevant to said at least one symptom of Alzheimer'"'"'s diseases.

Abstract
An integrated system and method for treatment of various diseases, including psychiatric, mental and brain disorders, which preferably combines personalized non-invasive neuronal brain stimulation together with appropriate personalized cognitive training, and which iteratively fine-tunes this treatment by monitoring specific cognitive and brain functions in response to the treatment. A novel brain stimulator device and method, Computerized Magnetic Photo-Electric Stimulator (CCMPES), is described, which integrates electromagnetic stimulation with laser stimulation to generate a magnetic photo-electric stimulation.

11. A medical device for treatment of impaired cognitive function comprising:
-
a brain activity analyzer operative to measure local brain function at at least one region of a brain related to the impaired cognitive function and determine a deficiency value, a non-invasive brain stimulator operative to selectively stimulate said at least one region of a brain of a patient, a cognitive stimulator operative to provide cognitive stimuli relevant to said impaired cognitive function; and a controller adapted to operate said non-invasive brain stimulator and said cognitive stimulator responsive to said deficiency value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method of therapy for impaired cognitive function, the method comprising:
-
stimulating at least one region of a brain of a patient functionally associated with impaired cognitive function without stimulating physically adjacent regions; and providing at least one cognitive stimulus to said patient, said stimulus selected to elicit a response involving said impaired cognitive function. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
