BRAIN STATE DEPENDENT THERAPY FOR IMPROVED NEURAL TRAINING AND REHABILITATION
First Claim
1. A method for assessing brain plasticity by measuring electrical brain biomarkers, the method comprising:
- applying a biosensor to a patient, the biosensor measuring an electrical brain biomarker; and
receiving the measurement of the electrical brain biomarker by a measuring device, the measuring device recording the measurement of the electrical brain biomarker; and
sending the recording of the measurement of the electrical brain biomarker to a processor, the processor giving a near real-time analysis of the electrical brain biomarker, the near real-time analysis being an increase or decrease in the electrical brain biomarker, where the increase or decrease of the electrical brain biomarker is indicative of a state of brain plasticity in the patient in response to a stimulus, thereby assessing brain plasticity.

Abstract
The disclosure provides an apparatus and method for assessing brain plasticity by measuring electrical brain biomarkers, for example, with a near real-time analysis of electrical brain biomarkers, where an increase or decrease in at least one biomarker is indicative of a state of brain plasticity in response to a stimulus or treatment. Brain plasticity can be measured with or without an added stimuli, for example, to determine the best time for learning. Also provided is a method for treating a neurological disease or trauma by applying an electrical or drug stimulus to a patient, where the stimulus is increased or decreased depending on the changes of electrical brain biomarker of the patient. This treatment can occur in near real-time, so a course of treatment can be tailored immediately to a patient'"'"'s needs.
