Abstract
The method includes applying individual stimuli to different regions of a brain the application of specific stimulus signals to corresponding stimulation elements arranged adjacent to the regions of the brain. The method includes constructing one or more simplified models of the brain, or of one or more sectors of the brain, considering the brain or the sector thereof, as appropriate, as a non-linear coupled oscillating system, and includes determining the stimulus signals so that the latter are suitable for exciting one or more natural vibration modes of the non-linear coupled oscillating system. The system includes stimulation elements (E1, E2 . . . En) arranged adjacent to regions of a brain, and an electronic system in connection with the stimulation elements (E1, E2 . . . En) and intended for applying thereto corresponding stimulus signals and for determining same by applying the proposed method.

- 36. A multi-site cranial stimulation method, comprising applying individual stimuli to different regions of a brain by means of the application of specific stimulus signals to corresponding stimulation elements arranged adjacent to said regions of said brain, wherein the method comprises constructing at least one simplified model of the brain or of a sector thereof, considering the brain or said sector thereof as a non-linear coupled oscillating system, and in that it comprises determining said stimulus signals so that they are suitable for exciting at least one natural vibration mode of said non-linear coupled oscillating system.

51. A multi-site cranial stimulation system which comprises:
-
a plurality of stimulation elements (E1, E2 . . . En) arranged adjacent to a corresponding plurality of different regions of a brain, an electronic system in connection with said plurality of stimulation elements (E1, E2 . . . En) and provided for applying thereto corresponding stimulus signals for the purpose of individually stimulating said plurality of regions of said brain, wherein said electronic system comprises at least one processing unit with access to at least one simplified model of the brain or of a sector thereof, being considered to be a non-linear coupled oscillating system, and provided for determining said stimulus signals so that they are suitable for exciting at least one natural vibration mode of said non-linear coupled oscillating system. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55)
