1. A method comprising:

  • delivering the electrical stimulation from a medical device at a first frequency to a brain of a patient when bioelectrical brain signals of the patient oscillate at a second frequency, wherein the second frequency corresponds to pathological brain signals of the patient, and wherein the electrical stimulation is selected to entrain the bioelectrical brain signals of the patient; and

    adjusting the delivered electrical stimulation from the first frequency to a third frequency while the bioelectrical brain signals are entrained by the electrical stimulation, wherein adjusting the delivered electrical stimulation changes the bioelectrical brain signal oscillations to a fourth frequency different from the second frequency.
