1. A multi-purpose electrode mechanism for prediction or detection and control of changes in brain state, comprising;

  • (a) a shaft portion structured for insertion into target tissue of the brain of a subject patient;

    (b) cooling means configured to operatively apply cooling therapy to the target tissue;

    (c) sensing means including at least one sensor monitoring a biological signal of the subject patient;

    (d) control means responsive to the sensing means wherein the control means is structured to, in response to signals from the sensing means that indicate the occurrence of a change of state, automatically cause the cooling means to initiate or terminate the cooling therapy; and

    (e) an energy source for powering the various components of the multi-purpose electrode mechanism.
