TRANSCRANIAL STIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD BASED ON ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL TESTING
First Claim
1. A bi-directional method of carrying out electrophysiological data recording and analysis with manual or automated delivery of transcranial current stimulation, comprising the steps of:
- via at least one electrode, conducting a non-invasive measurement of electrical currents within a brain of a person;
determining functional abnormality in said person based on said conducting while providing directed sensory stimuli to said person;
sending a non-invasive brain stimulation using low threshold transcranial magnetic stimulation to the brain of the person.

Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosed technology provide a combination electroencephalography and non-invasive stimulation devices. Upon measuring an electrical anomaly in a region of a brain, various non-invasive stimulation techniques are utilized to correct neural activity. Stimulation techniques include transcranial direct current stimulation, transcranial alternating current stimulation and transcranial random noise stimulation, low threshold transcranial magnetic stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnet stimulation. Devices of the disclosed technology may utilize visual, balance, auditory, and other stimuli to test the subject, analyze necessary brain stimulations, and administer stimulation to the brain.
