Method for low latency automated closed-loop synchronization of neurostimulation interventions to neurophysiological activity
Described is a system for synchronization of neurostimulation interventions. The system continuously monitors incoming neurophysiological signals. Latencies present in the monitoring of the incoming neurophysiological signals are measured. Based on the measured latencies, the timing of targeted neurostimulation interventions is determined, resulting in a neurostimulation intervention protocol. The neurostimulation intervention protocol is adjusted in real time for administration of neurostimulation during temporal regions of interest. The system then triggers administration of the neurostimulation during the temporal regions of interest.
