1. A method for treating a neural condition, comprising:

  • implanting an electrode within a patient'"'"'s skull;

    detecting an indication corresponding to a naturally occurring series of discharges transmitted by a neural population within the patient'"'"'s skull;

    transmitting a series of electrical signals from the electrode to the neural population;

    for at least some of the electrical signals, controlling each electrical signal to have a target temporal relationship to a corresponding one of the discharges; and

    updating a schedule according to which the electrical signals are transmitted based on the detected indications.
