Model Based Control Of Parkinson's Disease
Model Based Control Of Parkinson's Disease
US Patent:
8588899, Nov 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/636684
Inventors:
Steven John Schiff - State College PA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/04
US Classification:
600544, 706 15
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel means to use a fundamental model of the parts of the brain that are dysfunctional in Parkinson's disease, and related dynamical diseases of the brain, as part of a feedback control system to modulate the signs and symptoms of disease. Fundamental computational models that embody our knowledge of the anatomy, neurons, and dynamics of the parts of the brain we wish to control, and use those models to reconstruct what is inaccessible to our measurements. Through emulation the controller synchronizes to the parts of the brain we wish to observe and track. By passing simultaneous control pulses to both the model controller, as well as the brain, we control both the model and the brain. The detailed framework to embed fundamental models of the brain within a control scheme to control symptoms of Parkinsons and related dynamical diseases of the brain are disclosed.
