SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING NEURAL ACTIVITY
A method for monitoring neural activity responsive to a stimulus in a brain includes applying a first stimulus to at least one electrode implanted in the brain. The first stimulus includes a first plurality of bursts of stimulation. The method also includes detecting high frequency oscillations (HFOs) between about 200 Hz and about 500 Hz due to neuronal activity at one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain at least partially during application of the first stimulus, and determining one or more waveform characteristics of the HFOs. The method further includes generating a second stimulus comprising a second plurality of bursts of stimulation, wherein one or more waveform characteristics of the second stimulus is dependent on the one of more waveform characteristics of the HFOs, and applying the second stimulus to one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain.

a. applying a first stimulus to one or more of at least one electrode implanted in the brain, the first stimulus comprising a first plurality of bursts of stimulation;
b. detecting high frequency oscillations (HFOs) between about 200 Hz and about 500 Hz due to neuronal activity at one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain at least partially during application of the first stimulus;
c. determining one or more waveform characteristics of the HFOs;
d. generating a second stimulus comprising a second plurality of bursts of stimulation, wherein one or more waveform characteristics of the second stimulus is dependent on the one of more waveform characteristics of the HFOs; and
e. applying the second stimulus to one or more of the at least one electrode implanted in the brain.
