Patent attributes
A method of providing neuromodulation treatment to a patient includes both an assessment procedure prior to the application of magnetic stimulation signal to the patient during a treatment period of time. The assessment procedure is completed prior to the treatment period of time and senses an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal of the person and then an evaluates the EEG signal to obtain a measure of a patient's endogenous brain activity within a selected EEG band of the EEG signal of the patient. A control subsystem adjusts a stimulation protocol parameter used in the generation of the magnetic stimulation signal based upon the measure of a characteristic of the patient's endogenous brain activity obtained during the assessment procedure. The adjusted magnetic signal is then applied to the head of the patient for providing treatment to the patient patient's brain.
