Cloosed-loop feedback-driven neuromodulation
First Claim
1. A neural modulation system for use in treating disease which provides stimulus intensity which may be varied, comprising a stimulating and recording unit, said stimulating and recording unit further comprising a reference module in communication with a patient interface module, a supervisory module, and a control circuit, said reference module further comprising a memory register for the storage of control law reference values, said patient interface module facilitating monitoring and adjustment of said reference values by a patient and said supervisory module facilitating monitoring and adjustment of reference values by a health care provider.

Abstract
A neurological control system for modulating activity of any component or structure comprising the entirety or portion of the nervous system, or any structure interfaced thereto, generally referred to herein as a “nervous system component.” The neurological control system generates neural modulation signals delivered to a nervous system component through one or more neuromodulators, comprising intracranial (IC) stimulating electrodes and other actuators, in accordance with treatment parameters. Such treatment parameters may be derived from a neural response to previously delivered neural modulation signals sensed by one or more sensors, each configured to sense a particular characteristic indicative of a neurological or psychiatric condition.
